[Aztlan] Palabor: Pre Clasic site found in Guatemalan highlands

[Guateweb- Posada Belen]

New, Important  Pre clasic site found in Chimaltenango, Guatemala.
In a sort of a bizarre double historic finding, a pre-clasic ( +/- 800 B.C) site found along with over 214 victims of the anti-comunist 80,s US trained army who in place fought against the guerrillas trained by Cuba, conflict that generated over 100,000 dead, and millions of people who lost their houses and become forced to migrate out of the country.

A question? does any one knows if the stone rings know in Guatemala as "Donas" are totaly Spanish or are they a recycled object for use in the wood doors of colonial houses.
I ask because I have listen to that they are not pre-colombian, and have not read anything about, since stone is so hard to date, however I have seeing some donas worked with pre-columbian faces (but that could be later made to add market value) also they look so much similar to the cotton spining weels wich are so avanced in dynamic design that when someone asks or mention that "the Mayas did not know the weel" makes me think about lerning more over the subject. I think they did know the weel and used extensively in other ways.

many thanks for your thoughts
