[Aztlan] on ports and boats.

[David Hixson]

I have a bibliography / reading list from a graduate
seminar on Meso-S.Am. contacts.  I can scan it for you
and send it off-list if you'd like (but I'm in the
middle of re-installing my software, so it may take a
while).

In the mean time, here are some of the references that
seem most relevant for your questions:
