[Aztlan] collander-type ceramic vessel

[jeremy smith]

Hi Everybody,
   
  Jumping back to the possible uses of a collander ceramic vessel, seems like the Maya may have made a corn wine like the tesguino of the Tarahumara. Nikolai Grube (2001;32) wrote in a book titled "Maya - Divine Kings of the Rain Forest":
   
  "Europeans first encountered cacao in the year 1502, when Columbus on his fourth journey to the Gulf of Honduras, came across a large Maya trading canoe that measured over 40 m (131 ft.) in length, if the story recounted by his son Ferdinand is to be believed. Not only was the canoe laiden with metates (or grinding stones), copper items, fabrics and vessels, it also contained roots and grains, and a type of wine made from maize."
