Abstract
FURST has recently suggested a tentative date of about A.D. 250 for one phase of the shaft-tomb complex found in the Nayarit, Jalisco and Colima area of Western Mexico1,2. The suggested age of the tomb complex was based on radiocarbon measurements of three marine shell artefacts from one looted shaft-tomb (UCLA-593A-C. Additional information is now available which allows a more comprehensive discussion of the chronology of this tomb.
