Palenque and Selected Survey Sites in Chiapas and Tabasco: The Preclassic

Key to Illustrations

Scale: All ceramics illustrated at approximately one-third of natural size.

Radius: Width is normally given, dashed lines indicating a close approximation and dotted lines indicating a lower but still reasonable degree of probability. Although also indicating orientation, dotted lines without a vertical marker signal that the radius cannot be approximated.

Decoration: Interior decoration is shown in juxtaposition to the radius, exterior decoration being placed to the right.

Color bars: Used extensively. Solid framing lines indicate reasonable certainty for slip color. Dashed framing lines have multiple functions, sometimes raising the possibility that additional slip or paint may have been present; in other cases the indicated color is somewhat questionable. Stippling in color bars indicates unslipped areas on a daubed surface.

Symbols for paint or slip:
