Ma. del Carmen Rodríguez Martínez, Ponciano Ortíz Ceballos, Michael D. Coe et al., 2006. Science 313(5793), pp. 1610 to 1614.
Publishes the Cascajal block: a serpentine slab with 62 incised signs, about 28 of them distinct, found in a quarry at El Cascajal near San Lorenzo, Veracruz; dates it by associated sherds to the San Lorenzo phase, about 900 BC; argues from repetition, sequencing and the sign set that it is writing, read in horizontal rows.
What it's used for here
The claim at the centre of the mystery, and the source of the sign drawing and numbering.
