Domingo Martinez Castilla
has done a very nice post of ALL literature.
(I had read the Nature letters, but hadn't had time to track them
down).

Payak and Sachan 1988 "Maize in Somnathpur, an Indian medioeval temple",
Nature 335: 773-774
Domingo Martinez Castilla's post is available
on http://copan.bioz.unibas.ch/meso.html
I will also put up the pictures when I have time.
