Az: Current Info, Excavations, etc

[harvey.west at COX.NET]

You might try typing 'Aztec' into Google and following the many links that come up.  The first link is the Calendar.  You might also try the UNAM, Templo Mayor, and INAH websites.  I am more interested in the Nahua speakers in the Valley of Mexico than in the Mayan people.  There are many sources of material on precolumbian Nahua culture in both Nahua and Spanish.  The poetry of Nezahualcoyotl is in print today in Nahua and Spanish.  How much time do you have?  The sites in Mexico City are there to visit from the Summer Palace of Nezahuacoyotl at Tetzcotzinco near Texcoco to the Cerro de las Estrellas where the 'new fire' ceremony was performed every 52 years.  You can't put a spade into the dirt in Mexico without uncovering the pre-Columbian past.  John Carlson at University of Maryland is a Mexicanist more than a Mayanist; he has a website dedicated to archeo-astronomy.

I warn you, it is like a drug.  Once, you start, it is hard to stop.  Mexico is utterly enchanting.
