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

[David Hixson]

As some of you may have received Dr. Thomas' email as
a bunch of symbols, here is the text of his email
again (please note his return address at the bottom of
this message)...
-------------------------

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
