294 N o t e s o f M i d d l e A m e r i c a n A r c h a e o l o g y a n d E t h n o l o g y Carnegie Institution of Washington Division of Historical Research No. 77 January 6, 1947 Drawings of Tajumulco Sculptures Antonio Tejeda Illustrated supplement to Excavations at Tajumulco, Guatemala, by Bertha P. Dutton and Hulda R. Hobb (1943). During the winter of 1938–39, the School of American Research and the Museum of New Mexico carried on archaeological excavations at the small ruin site of Tajumulco, Department of San Marcos, Guatemala. A report on that work, Excavations at Tajumulco, Guatemala, was published as Monograph 9 of the School of American Research, November 1, 1943. On seeing some of the cultural material and photographs sculptures, Dr. A. V. Kidder deemed the stone carvings of sufficient importance to merit sending the staff artist of the Carnegie Institution’s Guatemala Office to the site to make detailed drawings of them. We were glad to accept this cooperation and the services of Sr. Antonio Tejeda. Owing to unavoidable circumstances, the drawings did not arrive in time for inclusion in the monograph , and we therefore stated that they would appear in El Palacio. It was found, however, that the reduction necessary for that format would cause too much loss of detail. Consequently, they are being issued in this form so that they may reach students of Middle American archaeology without further delay. A full discussion of the drawings is given on pages 33–45 of the original report, to which readers are referred. B.p.D. h.r.h. 77.1.
