What (or who) was sacrificed on the dreadful edifice...

Nothing as far back as the Olmecs indicate any human sacrifice. Not in the statues or depictions, anyway. Many of their rituals probably evolved into Mayan and Aztec ones that did involve it, however. It was never as common as animal sacrifice, though.
