UPDATE ON TAMAULIPAS FIND

Listeros,

The other day, I passed on a report on the uncovering of a giant
Huastec statue found in Tamaulipas posted on Erik Boot's Mesoamerica
News Page. Erik has a newer post up explaining that the first report
stating the finds were Huastec are in error and that the site is of
the style Rio Verde and not part of the Huastec cultural area. Below
is Erik's synopsis which has a more complete report in Spanish below
it from the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia

The site of Tammapul has been known since 1830, while a first
exploration took place in 1842. Since 2001 specialists from the
Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, led by archaeologist
Gustavo Ramírez Castilla, have been excavating and consolidating the
site, which contains several important architectural features. Río
Verde style ceramics have been found at the site, which date from the
period of ca. AD 200-1000; the apogee of the site may be tentatively
situated between ca. AD 500-900. The site probably was not part of the
Huastec cultural area, as was reported today, Wednesday June 25, 2008,
at the INAH website (edited by AMaNU; photo Mauricio Marat/INAH):
