STATUS REPORT OF RESEARCH AT THE IMS: May 2008

Analysis and Investigation of Maya Lintels
It has now been edited, and re-edited, as far as I'm concerned the
text is DONE. David has just finished the graphs and I asked him to modify
the lettering and then I have to check it finally. Should be done before
the end of May. Other graphics are done. Photos have to included and the
whole thing assembled.

Investigation of Maya Lime Mortar
Awaiting samples for testing.

The Lintels and vaults of Dzibilchaltun.
At Dr. Kurjacks request and with Rick, we intend to do "failure" analysis at
the purported "failed" Seven Dolls structure. Probably starting this fall.

Analysis and Investigation Of Maya concrete Vault Stability
Just started. Expected to go faster since it is mostly numerical evaluation
of data already obtained for the Lintel Project.
