Marshall Becker wrote a paper on almenas from ihuEl Salvador, and he reviews the evidence from other parts of Mesoamerica. Maybe he includes this question. His paper is under review at a journal right now.Michael E.

They seemed to do the same lineage job (some of them even have maya rulers and gods sitting in them) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10356104818131022374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8270793179032814466.post-42742193599662072162015-12-30T14:07:50.663-07:002015-12-30T14:07:50.663-07:00The corrected version is now posted on Academia.ed...The corrected version is now posted on Academia.edu.Michael E.

We located a new box of almenas in the lab, and in November I cataloged and measured and photographed them. The editor of Mexicon said I could submit revision to the text, figures and tables to incorporate the new results. But when the journal came out, my revisions were nowhere to be seen. I think I will distribute an alternative version of the paper with the updates. Stay tuned.......Michael E. Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03942595266312225661noreply@blogger.com
