  J. Eric S. Thompson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir John Eric Sidney Thompson (31 December 1898–9 September 1975) was an English archeologist and Mayanist epigrapher, regarded as the pre-eminent mid-20th century scholar of the pre-Columbian Maya civilization.
Thompson was born in London and studied anthropology at the University of Cambridge.
Thompson was, as he himself noted, of the last generation of "generalist" archeologists in the field, engaging in activities from finding and mapping new sites, excavation, study of Maya ceramics, art and iconography, Maya hieroglyphics, some ethnology on the side, and writing books for both technical and lay audiences.

 FAMSI - J. Eric S. Thompson, Catalog of Maya Hieroglyphs
Thompson's Catalog represented just what it said: it was a catalogue of most of the glyphs known up to the time of its publication.
With Thompson's Catalog it was easier to refer to a sign as "T110" rather than to something like "that squished sign with the ends marked off and parallel lines along the middle".
Thompson's Catalog is considerably more useful than other Maya sign catalogues that have been produced.

 "Those Mysterious Maya?" by Blair A. Moffett
The corollary, which Brunhouse touches on, is that living Mayas were almost always disregarded as sources able to shed light on the works of their ancestors, and their myths and traditional knowledge dismissed as fantasy.
A case in point was Thompson's recovery of a treasure of religious artifacts from the sacred cenote (a hollow depression in limestone with a pool at the bottom, found especially in Yucatan) at Chichen Itza.
Hailed by J. Eric S. Thompson as "the Nestor of Middle American studies," he adds that Seler's greatest single contribution was perhaps his demonstration of the essential unity of all of that area's advanced cultures.

 Some Kind Of Wonderful Movie with Eric Stoltz, Lea Thompson @ The 80's Movies Rewind -- Home of 80s Movies
Suddenly this distance is closed when Thompson sees her overtly rich and slimy boyfriend Hardy Jenns (Craig Sheffer) for the scuzball he is, and kind of falls into accepting a date with Stoltz to show Sheffer that she meant it when she dumped him.
There is Lea Thompson's character, who was struggling to fit somewhere, trying to be a part of the rich kids group, and then trying to stand alone again, which was possibly harder for her, given her looks and popularity.
Eric Stoltz and Lea Thompson were actually dating during the making of the movie.

 Maya Calendar: Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
For forty years, from the 1930s to the 1970s, the decipherment of Maya writing was held up by the false assumption (defended by Sir J. Eric S. Thompson) that the glyphs denoted ideas, so that the translation of a sentence in the Maya script required concatenation of ideas to provide a meaningful statement.
The correct approach to the decipherment of the Maya script, namely, treating the script as the written record of a spoken language, was discovered in the 1950s by the Russian linguist Y. Knorosov.
After Thompson's death in 1975 this approach was adopted by American linguists and thereafter excellent progress was made toward a complete decipherment, although the work is still unfinished.

Flying in the face of common belief that the script contained nothing but calendrical or ritualistic information, the German Heinrich Berlin published in the 1950s a series of papers identifying "emblem glyphs," a set of signs that seemed to refer to a specific Maya city (although he hesitated to call these place-names).
