	Guadalajara Reporter, La Manzanilla (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		Their findings were presented earlier this year before various federal, state and local authorities and laid enough accolades on the swamp to have it considered as serving as a model for other coastal mangrove swamps in Mexico.
		It would be a shame to see La Manzanilla's mangrove swamp endangered by an exterior force after all the work the local community has done to preserve it.
		Although La Manzanilla doesn't have a golf course or any five-star hotels with swim-up bars, it has a lot to offer tourists, especially this time of year when the rainy season gets underway.

	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - David M. Carballo - Proto-Urban Social Transformations and Community Organization at La ...
		This report details recent excavations at the site of La Laguna, Tlaxcala, occupied circa 600 BC - 100 AD, located in the "Teotihuacan Corridor" as designated by Archaeologist Ángel García Cook, and whose abandonment coincided with the urbanization and political expansion of that large metropolis.
		We suggest that there may have been subtle varieties, between the inhabitants of the peripheral community and those from the core, for the distribution of earflares in both places – the first contained only earflares composed of clay, of a solid and hollow form, and the second contained hollow earflares, decorated, and made of jade.
		It is possible that these changes followed the religious integration of the Central Highlands during the Late Formative, when the representation of several gods of the pantheon from the Classic and Postclassic existed in La Laguna, (including Huehueteotl, Tlaloc, and Xipe-Totec), and other large and small contemporary sites.
