	Reports Submitted to FAMSI - Joseph W. Ball
		As indicated in our original proposal, the severe erosion of virtually all recovered Cahal Pech ceramics renders their photographic documentation infeasible, and artists’ renderings in colored pencil will serve in place of these.
		Each Cahal Pech specimen will be complemented by analogous, similar, or identical counterparts from the Buenavista del Cayo royal palace to document the extent of interaction and/or intensity of relationships between the two palace populations (see examples shown below).
		We believe the number, nature, and closeness of identities and similarities among palace polychromes to be an excellent index of the social "closeness" of the court communities represented by them.
