With an advanced astronomical calendar, it's almost certainly a wheel.
It seems fairly impossible that they would not be aware of the wheel,
but it is possible that they did not use them for religious reasons.

There is no Mayan or contemporary Spanish evidence to support

You're probably right, at that- it is just a hypothesis, after all.
My thought was that it is rather unlikely that they spent enough time
observing the sky to make a calendar of any sort without noticing that
the celestial bodies were moving in a circular fashion. I'm no
expert, but it seems like a fairly basic conclusion that a round
calendar based on the heavens would have a central point around which
the edges "revolved" While that doesn't make a wagon, it is a wheel
of sorts.

I don't know about turned wood, but I'm pretty sure they had turned
pottery,

Nope. No potter's wheels.

Ok- I thought I had seen some, but it could certainly have been made
by other methods.
