Agreed. The nixtamalization article states that the process dates to only 1500 BC - 3500 years old. This too is unsourced, however, so I'm unwilling to change this article just yet. Tofof 10:41, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Changed to match nixtamalization article. Even if it's wrong, it should be consistent. This article http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/tamales.htm is slightly more specific:

"Nixtamalization dates again to the southern coast of Guatemala around 1200 - 1500BC where the kitchens were found equipped of the necessities of the nixtamal manufacture. We have not found any reference of the specific one to the manufacture of tamales in this time."

So, it is unlikely it was taken from W. But, there are no other references to this that I could find.

Native Americans and Ham

Under Native American recipes, ham in included.

There were no suidae (pigs) in N. America prior to European introduction so they could not have used ham.
