Talk:Tenayuca

More information, to tie in an overall understanding of the population of the Americas.
Did this civilization survive the younger dryas impact event? Did populations then migrate north as the vacuum of the now under used North American continent made it a viable place to live. Apparently the Clovis culture no longer was a factor. Is there any central record of DNA to allow us to track the flow of populations, and relate time of these events? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.190.246.208 (talk) 17:41, 7 December 2008 (UTC)


 * This civilization existed around 1100 AD. Dryas events and clovis cultures are MUCH earlier. And DNA is useless for purposes of tracking migration patterns in the americas around 1000 years ago.·Maunus· ƛ · 18:38, 7 December 2008 (UTC)

Chichimecs
Some explanatory words on the usage of the term "chichimec"&mdash;eg in the sentence"...considered the earliest capital city of the Chichimecs"&mdash;would be useful to have here at some point, given the term's ambiguity & multiple meanings. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 00:56, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * As soon as I can get back into the INAH website, I'll see in what context they were using chichimec and clarify the reference - their website has been down all weekend (it looks like someone hijacked it...) Simon Burchell (talk) 09:39, 8 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I've now added a brief summary from the relocated INAH website. Simon Burchell (talk) 11:59, 10 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks Simon. I think the Boone and Berdan et al references also go into some other specifics abt what the sources meant by chichimec, but ATM haven't the time/access to look them up again. --cjllw ʘ  TALK 06:30, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
