    Sid Hollander found one of the references.   This one mentions only 3 sites (per Sid.)  The ones I reported on mentioned 10.  (maybe more work was done later) at least we have SOME original reference.  Thank you Sid.
 From Sid:
The accurate reference is:

An Ancient Maya Measurement System
Author(s): Patricia J. O'Brien and Hanne D. Christiansen
Source: American Antiquity, Vol. 51, No. 1 (Jan., 1986), pp. 136-151
Published by: Society for American Archaeology


Attached is a copy so you can correct some of the errors in your post.

It should have been called

"Applying the Units proposed by Patricia J. O'Brien and Hanne D. Christiansen to the Castillio of Chichen Itza" 


You must give the credit deserved and correct the errors (3 sites not 10... not five feet but something like 147 cm. +/- etc.
