BTB: Some history on the ancient tribes of Mexico (post for 9/4)

http://www.geographia.com/mexico/mexicohistory.htm

So far I haven't gotten a chance to really explore this site but it lists the Olmecs, the Maya, and the Aztecs as some of the main tribes of the area.

I suppose we'll be able to find plenty of info on the Maya and the Aztecs and their trading policies/ 'border' interpretations.

The Olmecs were apparently the first of Mexico's ancient civilizations appearing in around 1000 BC and vanishing around 400 BC. They apparently were a great influence to the later tribes though finding info on them may prove difficult.
