用法筆記
Mesoamerica is a cultural and archaeological term, not a modern geographical one. Do not confuse it with Central America (中美洲), which refers to the present-day countries between Mexico and South America. Mesoamerica includes much of Mexico plus northern parts of Central America, and the term is used mainly in history and archaeology.
