A Brief Introduction
Tikal is the largest city of the Maya civilization’s Classic period and home to Temple IV which was the second largest structure in the New World until the first skyscrapers were built in North America. A project team from UC Berkeley traveled to Tikal to digitally preserve the temples and aid local restoration activities.
Statement of Data QualityMajor conservation and restoration work was conducted on Tikal’s Temple IV and laser scanning was selected to aid this work. The temple top and its roof comb were documented. A large amount of supplemental, although incomplete, data was collected within the Central Acropolis, the Great Plaza, and the North Acropolis in order to facilitate other work being conducted across the significant areas of the site. Data may be added to Tikal as it becomes available.
