Monument Types

In the Complete List of Text References for each individual in the Who's Who I have abbreviated the monument types in order to save space. Below is a key to what those abbreviations stand for. For the most part I have followed the designations proposed by Ian Graham for the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions project (CMHI 1:25).
