Partially set in the ancient Ohio River Valley, partially set in ancient MesoAmerica.

For Late Formative/Classic period West Mexico that encompasses the peoples with a shared tradition of burying some of their dead in shaft tombs, I recommend the following books.

Linda Schele did extensive work on the topic. She sorta "discovered" David Stuart before his ego stepped in and took over. Linda wrote a lot of the stuff you've probably seen on the FAMSI website. One of her students used to run the Institute. Maya daykeepers deified her before her death. She's a big deal.
Blood of Kings is essential.
Well the third one, the vase rollout, is Moche fineline drawing from Peru (ca. A.D. 1-800) and is not Mesoamerican. It is generally interpreted as a burial (the two figures lowering a mummy bundle using ropes on the right). To the left, some people are presenting an elite (king or high priest) with sacrifices or tribute, and he is dressed in full ceremonial garb and seated on top of a huaca or pyramid mound.
The image is full of characters that commonly show up in Moche iconography and, in some cases, throughout northern Peru. Unfortunately, I am not up to speed on who each character is or what their role is in the Moche canon.
I found a copy of this rollout on this page, put together by Brian Billman who is a Moche specialist. He cites Donnan and McClelland for this scene. They have a couple books on Moche art and iconography and they are recognized as authorities on Moche ceramic art. You should take a look at their books for more info. Check out Sex, Death, and Sacrifice in Moche Religion and Visual Culture by Steve Bourget for some more recent ideas on the meaning of Moche ceramic art.
The other two images look Mesoamerican to me and I don't know much about Mesoamerican art or iconography so I can't help you out there, unfortunately.
