[Aztlan] SACRIFICED INDIVIDUALS FOUND AT BANDURRIA

[Bertrand Lobjois]

*There are two specialists about the aztec sacrifice :

*

   1. *Michel Graulich who recently published "The Human Sacrifice among the
   Aztecs" (2005). The (french) book was translated to spanish.*
   2. *Yollotl Gonzales who proposed a re-edition of her book last year
   (2007).*

*You can get them easily on Amazon...
