The ceramic sequence spans approximately 1,600 years and encompasses nine ceramic complexes and one sub-complex." It is formatted as a catalog of the types, with illustrations, in a chronological framework. With the addition of a concluding chapter, the authors will intend to show how the sequence should be used in future research in the Holmul region and beyond in Mayan archaeology--Provided by publisher.
