BTW, There are plenty of such sites in southern Mexico that archeologists haven't gotten around to surveying / excavating yet. I've seen some of them and I'm not the only non-local that has. Some of them have been pretty well looted by antiquities thieves, but many haven't. Ironically, the current drug turf wars have drastically diminished such thievery.
Paging Dr. Challenger!
