Book of Mormon Heartland Model 3

You are likely more familiar with the “literature” than I am.  I am not sure there is a lot officially written about the heartland model. FARMS/Maxwell had been rather invested in mesoamerica. Currently (it seems) the Maxwell institute is kinda distancing itself from the subject of geography. Accordingly, many FARMS people seem to have been transitioning to FAIR.  Wayne May has been publishing from a more secular angle in Ancient America. Admittedly, one of the best sites for potential pre-Colombian bovus, equus, etc.  is from the Yucatan caves.
