The Preclassic Whole Vessels of Lamanai, Belize: A Final Report

Acknowledgements

The analysis of the Preclassic ceramic assemblage would not have been possible without the permission of Elizabeth Graham, Principal Investigator of the Lamanai Archaeological Project. I am indebted to her for allowing me to use this collection for my dissertation research. I am also deeply grateful for the FAMSI support that enabled me to finish my research in a timely manner. Projects such as this one are rarely funded so I am very pleased that FAMSI was interested in documenting this important ceramic collection from Lamanai. I also want to thank David Pendergast for helping me understand the Preclassic occupation at Lamanai. My research would not have been successful in the summer of 2000 without the talent, skill, and professionalism of Ruth Dickau. Her artistic contributions, as well as those by Louise Belanger who preceeded her, are invaluable to my dissertation research. Other individuals who helped me out with my ceramic research through their insightful comments and knowledge of Lamanai’s prehistory include: Claude Belanger, Laura Howard, Linda Howie-Langs, Nasario Ku, Richard Meadows, Karen Pierce, Dorie Reents-Budet, Mark Shelby, Scott Simmons, Norbert Stanchly, and Darcy Wiewall. The permission to use the Lamanai site map and ceramic line drawings was given by Elizabeth Graham and David Pendergast. Food was provided by Xochil Ku Butterfly Education Centre and Maya Cultural Museum, located in Indian Church. Lodging during the 2000 field season was provided by Mark and Monique Howells, of the Lamanai Outpost Lodge.
