Which early American culture lived to the east of the Olmecs?

The Olmec civilization developed along Mexico’s Gulf Coast, while the Maya lived farther east in areas of present-day southeastern Mexico and Central America. The Maya are therefore the early American culture that lived to the east of the Olmecs. The Incas and Chavín lived in the Andes, and the Aztecs came later in central Mexico.
