I created a web-book on the Maya recently that you might also dig: The Mayan Kingdom. Hope you enjoy it. Cheers.

I’ve been lurking for a while — first-time poster, long-time reader. I regularly read the anthropology (you, Aardvarchaeology, Afarensis) and geology (Green Gabbro, Highly Allochtonous) blogs here on ScienceBlogs.

Only some of the “cooking directions” were missing really. The core contribution of this new “mystery-solving” research is linking the sustained low heat needed to make Maya Blue with the ritual practices performed at Chichen Itza.
