Research on Temple 16: An Ongoing Imagery Reconstruction of Temple 16, Copán, Honduras

Organization of the Sculpture at CRIA

PRIT-16 began the reorganization of the fragments associated with Structure 10L-16 in Bodegas III and IV.  After analysis, the pieces were placed in the shelf according to the motif and mosaic to which they belong. Some mosaics utilized from one to four space units on the shelf. This grouping of pieces will allow future researchers to identify and easily take out entire motifs for comparison, recording, reanalysis, etc. Because of its new location, every piece was updated in relation to its current place in the house storage; an electronic table was constructed containing this information. This table can be consulted in the future to locate mosaic sections with specific motifs.
