Late Preclassic Inscription Documentation Project

Conclusions

Thanks to FAMSI and the other supporting organizations I have been able to complete (with one partial exception, the UNP clamshell) the immediate objectives of my LAPIDA Project: the primary documentation of the Late Preclassic texts that constitute the focus of epigraphic and linguistic analysis of my dissertation. As a short-term goal, I intend to expand the project to include additional Late Preclassic and Early Classic Mayan texts. As a long-term goal, I intend to expand the project to document early texts from across Mesoamerica, and contribute to the study of the origin and spread of the Mesoamerican scripts and to their decipherment, as well as to reconstruction of Mesoamerican social, artistic, and linguistic history.
