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.
There are several that vie for the title of earliest. The Inca ruled Central America for roughly a hundred years in the 15th and 16th centuries. The Mayans predated the Inca by about five centuries and overlaps the Mississippian culture of Cahokia that predates the Inca by about a thousand years.
