[Aztlan] List of Maya terminal long-count dates sought

I am trying to find a comprehensive list of Maya terminal long-count dates.    I have searched a number of online databases (British Library, ISI Web of Science, JSTOR), but the only published list I have been able to find is in a paper by Premo (Journal of Archaeological Science 31 (2004) 855–866).  This is itself an update of an earlier list by Bove (American Antiquity 46 (1981) 93–112), who apparently compiled it himself from primary sources.  Both these lists apply only to the Maya lowlands.  

As a non-Mayanist I would find it surprising if no more definitive list of terminal dates existed, and I conclude that I am looking in the wrong places.  If anyone can refer me to a more comprehensive list than the ones cited above, I should be very grateful.  Please respond to my email address directly, not to the list.

Many thanks,

Tom Thomas
