Eric Thompson published Blom's photographs and commented on the early style of the Jolja' Cave material in his 1975 introduction to the reprint edition of Henry Mercer's The Hill-Caves of Yucatan. Drawings based on Blom's photographs were published by Berthold Reise in a brief 1981 Mexicon article. Jose Alejos Garcia visited the cave in 1984 while researching an ethnographic study of the Joloniel area. He published his comments and photographs in a 1994 UNAM monograph. Of particular interest is his illustration of an idol in the form of a dripwater formation. In her important 1995 volume on Maya cave paintings, Andrea Stone (1995) reproduced some of Blom's photographs and published new drawings based on Blom's work and Reise's drawings. She discussed the Early Classic style of the paintings and noted that the six groups did not appear to be contemporary with each other. |
