[Aztlan] map scales in Puleston 1983

[Michael Smith]

Has anyone worked with the maps of structures in the transects in
Puleston's survey report? I am trying to figure out the scales of these
maps.

 

Puleston, Dennis E.

1983   The Settlement Survey of Tikal. Tikal Report, vol. 13. University
of Pennsylvania, University Museum, Pennsylvania.

 

The individual transect maps do not have scales, although the kilometer
marks are indicated on the transect lines. The key to the maps (located
between figures 1 and 2) has a scale, but it does not match up with the
km marks. Can it be assumed that the km. marks are accurate? If so, then
it is easy to devise a scale for the maps. It amazes me that a major
publication of maps from a major press lacks scales on the maps.
