Borhegyi's Interpretation of Certain Mesoamercan Objects as Ball-Game Handstones
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 January 2017
Abstract
In a recent article Borhegyi identifies certain stone objects as part of special gear worn by players in Mesoamerican ball games. He cites descriptions by early Spanish observers of the game as well as archaeological representations of ball-game gear. Borhegyi's interpretation is not supported by either the historical documents or the archaeological evidence cited.
