Special thanks are due to several individuals who provided local
advice and logistical support for the project. Arqlgo Luis Millet
Cámara, the former director of the Centro INAH Yucatán, was
instrumental in project planning in 2005. Arqlgo Rafael Burgos
Villanueva served as the local coordinator for the project. Investigators of
the Sección de Arqueología of the Centro INAH-Yucatán,
especially Dr Alfredo Barrera Rubio, Arqlga Eunice Uc González, Arqlga
Beatriz Quintal, ArqlgoVictor Castillo, and Arqlga Leticia Vargas, were
extremely helpful. Arqlga Sylviane Boucher and Arqlga Yoly Palomo, ceramicists,
aided the delivery and curation of excavated materials to the lab at the Centro
INAH Yucatan. Dr Rafael Cobos Palma and Mtro Héctor Hernández
Alvarez, Facultad de Ciencisas Antropológicas of the Universidad
Autónoma de Yucatán, made excellent suggestions and facilitated
student participation. Dra. Piedad Peniche Rivero,
director of the Archivo General del Estado de
Yucatán, facilitated archival research, and Dr. Sergio Quezada provided
invaluable suggestions in locating source material. We were assisted by the
Comisarios ejidal of Ebtun, Kaua, Cuncunul, Tekom, Tixcacalcupul, and Chan Kom who granted permission for archaeological survey on
municipally-owned lands, served as guides or sent representatives to guide us
to specific sites, and helped us to contact local landowners to obtain
permission to survey on private lands. We extend special appreciation to
Florencio Un Camal, comisario ejidal of Ebtun, and
José Guadalupe Noh Canul, comisario ejidal of Kaua. Our work also was
aided by Padres Jose Ibán González, Heraclio González, and
Miguel Santos, priests in charge of the churches in Ebtun, Kaua, Cuncunul,
Tekom, and Tixcacalcupul who formally presented us to their congregations and
granted permission for excavation around the churches.We are especially indebted to the people of Ebtun whose
support made the project possible. Their friendship and hospitality are
most greatly appreciated.
