"the tombs of Yax Nuun Ayiin I, Siyaj Chan K'awiil II, Wak Chan K'awiil and "Animal Skull"." dates of rule or burial in brackets after each would be useful here.

Done. Simon Burchell (talk) 06:42, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

My feeling is that you need to elaborate more on the monuments to effectively summarize the article.

Postclassic

Strange to begin section with "However".

I've cut the "however". Simon Burchell (talk) 21:32, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Structures

No estimated dates for construction date of 27-31?

I've dropped in some dates; in some cases this is pretty vague since not all of these structures have been excavated. Simon Burchell (talk) 10:24, 14 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Burial 48

plaster of paris

Paris is capitalized in the dictionary for plaster of Paris I believe.

Of course it is... fixed it! Simon Burchell (talk) 21:37, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Looks in good shape overall, most interesting, especially the red painted skull.♦ Dr. Blofeld 11:18, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for the review - I've fixed the simple stuff and will come back and do the rest tomorrow. Best regards, Simon Burchell (talk) 21:38, 13 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
