[Aztlan] Az: Bows and Arrows

[David Hixson]

Listeros,

Tom just mentioned Landa's relacion regarding bows and
arrows.  It is my understanding that this was a
relatively late introduction to Maya hunting/warfare
(during the late Postclassic), which may be why others
have not mentioned it yet on this list.  I believe
that the carnegie project members stated that the bow
and arrow came in towards the end of Mayapan's
dominance of NW Yucatan.  If some kind soul out there
could back this up with a reference (or correct my
memory), I would greatly appreciate it.

-Dave
