INSCRIPTIONS OF THE EARLY PERIOD. 119 
Fragment V'2. Vhis piece (figure 20, d) was found in the street pave- 
ment in front of the house of Porfirio Villamil. (See figure 22, u’.) Only 
one glyph-block shows and that is incomplete. Judging from what is left, 
it was from 15 to 16 cm. high and 23 cm. wide. Part of the marginal band 
appears at the left and the adjoining side is plain, which makes this part of a 
Class 1 or a Class 2 stela. As the only satisfactory agreement in the above 
table is with the glyph-blocks on the side of Stela 20, and since Stela 20 
belongs to Class 3, it may be eliminated. 
Fragment V'3. This is a very small piece (figure 20, f), said to have 
been taken from the foundations of Stela 7 in 1918. It is 17 cm. wide and 
15 cm. high. It looks as though it might be part of an Initial Series intro- 
ducing glyph. (See figure 22, h’.) 
Fragment V'4. ‘Vhisis avery small piece found 3 meters west of the foun- 
dation-stone of Stela 7 in the excavations of June 1919. (See figure 22, n’.) 
Fragment V'5. ‘This is a very small piece (figure 20, g) 16 cm. wide and 
10 cm. high, with a plain marginal band along its left side. It was found in 
1918 in the street pavement in front of the house of Porfirio Villamil. (See 
figure 22, v’.) 
Fragment V'6. This piece (figure 20, ¢) was found in the mound of Stela 
7 in 1918, 10 meters west of the foundation-stone of Stela 7 and 2 meters 
north. (See figure 22, m’.) The sides are plain and the front and back sculp- 
tured with two vertical columns of glyph-blocks, which show that it belongs 
to a Class 2 stela, and limits our possibilities, at least in so far as the 
above table is concerned, to Stele 24, 16, and 17. The width of the mar- 
ginal band is 5 cm., the height of the glyph-blocks is 18 cm., and the width 
25cm. The relief is about 1 cm. in depth. At first sight it appears barely 
possible that Fragment V’6 might be a part of Stela 24, but a comparison 
of the thicknesses of the two, 29 cm. for Stela 24 and 39 cm. for Fragment 
V’6, precludes this possibility. It is possible, however, that Fragment V’6 
and V’r may have been parts of the same monument, the heights of their 
glyph-blocks being 17 and 18 cm., respectively, and their corresponding 
widths 25 and 24 to 25 cm., respectively. 
Fragment V'7. This is a very small piece, which was found near the 
north end of the mound of Stela 7 during the excavations of June 1919. (See 
figure 22, k’.) 
Fragment V'8. This is a very small piece found near V’6 and at the 
Same time. (See figure 22, 0’.) = - 
Fragment V'9. ‘This piece tian 20, b) was found in the west wall of 
the house of Pedro Ramirez. (See figure 22, z’.) Parts of two glyph-blocks 
show and a plain marginal band to the left, the adjoining side. being plain. 
The present maximum height of the glyph- bleete | is 15 cm. and the maxi- 
mum width 14 cm. 
Fragment V'ro. This piece (figure 20, oy was found in the street pave- 
ment in front of the house of Clementino Lopez. (See figure 22, 7’.) All the 
surfaces, except the single sculptured one, show fractures. Only one glyph-
