Extract

      Paul Kirchhoff defined the whole region
      (Its trait was a bloody religion)
      Then came Caso, Bernal
      MacNeish, Willey et al.
      And of E. Willys Andrews, a legion.
    The Chilam Balam of Chapultepec

By the early thirties Mesoamerican archaeology was already indelibly marked. Ricketson, at Uaxactun from the late twenties, and Caso, at Monte Alban, had the general sequences for the culture area as early as that.
