Tabasco se caracteriza por sus extensas llanuras aluviales cuya riqueza natural permitió el asentamiento de muchas culturas desde el 1400 a.C. Sin embargo, el entorno selvático y los terrenos inundados dificultaron conocer la región y a su población desde el siglo XVI. Hoy día se tiene una base de datos de 1730 sitios, la mayor parte de éstos fueron registrados entre los años cincuenta a los noventa del siglo XX. Este texto aborda una revisión histórica de la arqueología de superficie efectuada en un singular entorno y bajo diferentes perspectivas, la que ha permitido conocer y ubicar a las poblaciones prehispánicas que le habitaron.SURFACE ARCHEOLOGY IN TABASCO, MEXICO:A HISTORICAL REVIEWABSTRACTTabasco is characterized by its extensive alluvial plains, whose natural wealth allowed the settlement of many cultures from 1400 a.C., however, the jungle environment and the flooded lands made it difficult to know the region and its population since the 16th century. Today there is a database of 1730 sites; most of them were recorded between the fifties to the nineties of the twentieth century. This work deals with a historical review of the surface archeology that has been achieved in this unic environment and under different perspectives, to know more about the prehispanic populations that lived here.Keywords: Prospecting; archeology; Tabasco, alluvial plain; Olmec, Mayan
