Extract

No sooner is an archaeological monograph published than certain errors and misinterpretations become so evident that the author wishes he had an opportunity to do the whole thing over. Unfortunately (or fortunately?), this is not possible, so the next best thing is to correct the text from time to time, thus bringing it into agreement with more recent investigations. Short articles in professional journals are ideal for this purpose, as Stephan de Borhegyi demonstrated recently with a note in these pages (Borhegyi 1955: 284–6), concerning certain pottery specimens described in my Copan report (Longyear 1952). Since Borhegyi's observations incidentally involve the dating of several archaeological periods at Copan, some additional comment is obviously in order.
