Abstract

FARMS is assisting in research conducted at Mayan ruins at Bonampak in Mexico by Yale University and the National Geographic Society. Professors Stephen Houston and Gene Ware of BYU are helping to examine the remains of rapidly fading murals on the walls of the ruins. FARMS provided a multispectral photographic filter and technical expertise (from Steve Booras, Electronic Projects Specialist at FARMS) to help Houston record these murals on film before they disappear.
