Listeros, 

Sorry the post didn't go through the first time. Let's try this again... 

I'm giving a brief presentation on the aDNA extraction techniques (and results thereof) outlined in 2008 De La Cruz et al “ Sex Identification of Children Sacrificed to the Ancient Aztec Rain Gods in Tlatelolco” , but I wanted to elaborate on the taphonomy of the site, as well as Guilliem's site interpretations presented in his 1999 book “ Ofrendas a Ehecatl‐ Quetzalcoatl en Mexico‐ Tlatelolco” . Furthermore, I'm interested in other related aDNA studies conducted at the site (if any), or other interpretations of this particular cache. Unfortunately, I'm currently in a location where my research resources are a little limited, which basically leaves me to material accessible online. Any online articles you could suggest would be very helpful, as would any links to images/site plans/etc. 

Thanks much, 

Kyra Glore
