"One of the important but little-known archeological areas of Middle America is that portion of southern Mexico lying between the classic Olmec territory and that formerly occupied by the ancient Maya. In 1944 a reconnaissance was conducted in this region as part of the National Geographic Society-Smithsonian Institution archeological program ... I was assisted on the trip by Richard H. Stewart, ... of the National Geographic Photographic Laboratory, and by my wife Marion Stirling"--P. 217.
