The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on the archaeological site, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced record of the murals' location, dating, content and discovery. Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited here for corroborated site and content detail rather than for the standard scholarly analysis, which the Miller monograph supplies instead.
