Reference to other images in this archive are also made in this document. However, if the images were not of either Uxmal or Chichén Itzá, the link is directly to Ruggles' site in the UK.

A view of the Nunnery Quadrangle from the top of El Adivino: The lowest roof, along the left edge, belongs to the South building. The North building, opposite, was constructed on the highest platform. The East and West buildings are intermediate.
