HELLMUTH, Nicholas, Structure 5D-73, BURIAL 196, TIKAL, PETEN, GUATEMALA,
2 volumes, spiral bound, so many hundreds of illustrations we gave up counting
maps, lots of architectural drawings of the pyramid and tomb chamber, rollout
drawings of all the decorated vases, complete drawings of all the plates,
pictures of all the jade in situ inside the crypt. . This opus was Hellmuth's B.A. honor's thesis (awarded a Summa
cum Laude at Harvard). Burial 196 ("The Tomb of the Jade Jaguar")
is the third largest Late Classic burial ever found in the entire Maya lowlands.
The author spent several months inside the tomb and in the lab taking copious
notes, doing exquisite drawings, and taking abundant photographs, making
this the most thoroughly recorded burial ever excavated in Mesoamerica.
