Site Names and Three-letter Codes
Below we list three-letter abbreviations for Maya sites. These three-letter site codes were developed by Ian Graham for the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions project (CMHI 1: 23-24; 3: 185-187; 6: 187-189). Over the years Mathews developed his own list of sites and site codes, and so too has the German epigrapher Berthold Riese (2004). The following list of sites and their codes is mainly taken from the CMHI, but includes some additions by Riese and/or Mathews.
