Extract

In connection with a reconnaissance of southwestern Campeche and Tabasco undertaken for the Carnegie Institution of Washington, the writer was able to make a brief visit to the ruins of Piedras Negras in the Department of Peten, Guatemala, in January, 1940. At the time of this visit, he encountered a fragment with hieroglyphic text on the raised basal terrace at the corner of Structure K-5, close to but not in direct association with the fragments of Stela 38. As the fragment was unfamiliar, it was photographed on the offchance of being previously unrecorded. However, no measurements or drawings were made.
