Abstract
Evidence of aboriginal contact between Mesoamerica and the Greater Antilles is hardly overwhelming and the little that has been gathered remains controversial. The problems surrounding the derivation of the Antillean ball game (for a brief summary, see Rouse 1953: 197) exemplify the need of caution in interpreting resemblances. A more generalized connection between the areas exists on the level of the sociopolitical organization developed in Classic Lowland Maya culture as well as in the Circumcaribbean and the Gulf Coast area of North America (Steward 1947: 104-5; Sears 1954).Keywords
