[Aztlan] Bajos and Sailing

[Elaine Day Schele]

Hi Dave,

Here is a PDF from the University of Texas Journal of the Mesoamerican
Archaeological Research Lab.  I call your attention to the article by Dr.
William Doolittle called "An Epilogue and Bibliography Supplement to Canal
Irrigation in Prehistoric Mexico: The Sequence of Technological Change".
With this report, he is updating and amending a publication he wrote in
1990:

> Hi All,
>          Thanks for ll your help in realtion to trade routes I now have
lots of leads to look into. I have  another question. I noticed that most of
the preclassic site that i have looked at so for have Bajos next to them.
Which are currently seasonal swamps. Tom Gidwitz has a website where he
postulates that they used to be perennial lakes. That they bacame seasonal
swamps between 100-200 ad. Is there any place i can find out more
information about these bajos. I would like to know wether it would have
been possible to sail on them and wether the Mayan had that type of
technology at that time period.
