Unclear description

Quote: "It was "probably" carved during the Middle Formative Period, some time between 1000 to 600 BCE,[5]."
Was it "probably carved" or "carved, probably during the Middle Formative Period"?
Can anybody with access to the reference please clarify?
Many thanks, Pstuart84 Talk 17:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say the latter interpretation is meant ("carved, probably during the Middle Formative Period"). Though I'm not sure why probably is in quotation marks in the text- is it a quote from the cite, or are the quote marks used to indicate some doubt? Friend Madman, pls clarify...--cjllw | TALK 07:38, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The quotes were in place because I was quoting an authority, but I can see now that that was not the best construction. The word "probably" does refer to the timeframe, but I believe that the phrase "carved, probably during the Middle Formative Period" is a bit strange since these mounuments are always carved. I suppose I could use "created" instead of "carved". You all are welcome, as always, to change anything and everything. Thanks for your comments, Madman 12:59, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
