To find the tablecloth drop (the length your tablecloth will hang down from the tabletop), you simply subtract the table length from the linen size and then divide by two. For instance, you have a 48 inch square table and have a 70 inch square tablecloth.
Maya origins. While hunters and gatherers had a presence in Central America stretching back thousands of years, it was in what archaeologists call the Pre-classic period (1800 B.C. to A.D. 250) that permanent village life really took off.
The Maya were a Mesoamerican civilization from 300-900 CE. They lived in the lowlands in Yucatan, Guatemala, and Honduras. They are important because of their advances in math, astronomy, writing, and their pyramids.
