Acknowledgements

We wish first of all to thank the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia, to the Consejo de Arqueología, then headed by Arqlgo. Joaquín García-Bárcena, and to Dr. Alejandro Martínez Muriel, Coordinador Nacional de Arqueología for granting us permission to conduct research at Kiuic and environs. We also thank Arqlgos. Luis Millet Cámara, Director of the Centro INAH Yucatán, and Rubén Maldonado Cárdenas, to Drs. Fernando Robles Castellanos and Anthony P. Andrews, and to Sra. Joann Andrews for their counsel, friendship and continued interest in our project. Arqlgo. Alfredo Barrera Rubio, ex-director of the Centro INAH Yucatán also helped us with logistics and moral support. We also thank Arqlgo. Carlos Peraza L. and Arqlga. Sylviane Boucher for their help regarding ceramic identification and for facilitating access to comparative collections.

We further wish to express our profound gratitude to Bob and Dee Legget, Maurice Hall, and to Helen and Ed Moyers for their generous financial support that was indispensable to carrying out the research presented above. We also wish to thank Dr. George Harmon, retired President of Millsaps College, for his continual efforts in support of our work. And of course, the generous support of FAMSI was critical to support of the urban settlement study. The patience of the staff in waiting for this report is also very much appreciated.

We also wish to express our gratitude to the several students who have worked so hard during our first two field seasons. For 2001, our thanks go to Chris Gunn, project ceramicist, Millsaps students Rebecca Hill and Adam Lambert, and Davidson students Jeremy Campbell, Corey Brown, Zoe McCoy, and Jeff Fox.

Our final debt and greatest debt is to the men of Yaxachén, Sta. Elena and Oxkutzcab, who over the past two years have formed our workforce. Not only have they cheerfully and efficiently carried out our sometimes cryptic and ill-expressed directives, but have quickly become old friends who have taught us much about life in the Puuc Hills.
