Foundation for the Advancement of Mesoamerican Studies, Inc., 2009, www.famsi.org/research/grofewriting. Grofe’s latest observations were made very recently, in February of 2009, and are thus as yet unpublished. His overall work integrates epigraphic decipherment and astronomy, a sensitivity that very few epigraphers have. Grofe’s unpublished manuscripts include: “The Sidereal Year and Precession in the Cross Group of Palenque” and “Astronomical References in Tortuguero Monument 6.”
