[Aztlan] Stone of Chiapa

[David Hixson]

I cannot directly help with this question, but I had a
guess that it might be included in the "Stelabase" (a
Microsoft Excel spreadsheet of most Maya monuments). 
However, I couldn't find any long counts beginning
with 13 in this database.  Even so, it is a very handy
resource that folks should be familiar with.

You can find it under "Software" and "Stelabase" in
Tom Burglin's wonderful mega list of Mesoamerican
links:
