Signs of progress

Although we're back to classes, it does not mean that we've been (completely) idle with our research at Sinsimbla. Over the past several weeks we've been converting our field notes and drawings into a more formal statement of our work in July.

Here's a good example of a work in progress. This is a contour map of the structures at Sinsimbla. The contour lines denote a 0.5 meter change in elevation. The large pyramid on the east side of the main plaza, Structure 1, stands 10 meters (30 feet) above the modern plaza surface.

Stay tuned. We'll post more images as they are completed.
