Notes: Catherwood was one of the first to use daguerreotypes for archeological studies, but those he took on this expedition were destroyed so he used his own drawings as illustrations in this book. For further information, see The Daguerreotype: Nineteenth-Century Technology and Modern Science by M. Susan Barger & William B. White, pg 77
