[Aztlan] Olmec use of Tar

[Paul Schmidt]

Just a note to clear up a slight misunderstanding 
of Carl Wendt's note in INAH's site which Mike 
Ruggeri refers to, 
http://dti.inah.gob.mx/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1137&Itemid=150 
The earliest known use of tar is from El Manatí, 
but when Carl mentions the "great commercial port 
as demonstrated by the diversity of earthenware 
materials..." he is referring to information from 
Alfredo Delgado's project in the tunnel at 
Coatzacoalcos, much later than El Manatí.

If you want to keep up with recent information on 
INAH projects and those of archaeologists from 
other institutions, browse INAH's site once a 
week or so at the following address: 
http://www.inah.gob.mx or http://dti.inah.gob.mx. 
They are doing a great job of posting notes on 
more or less recent projects.
