I was interested in the interpretation of the site as Mexican by the interns, and the idea that the motifs for the mosaic would project that ethnicity as commonly represented today. They were very open when I explained we were not about any one culture, but about how people communicate across cultural boundaries in the past and in the present, so we would want the motifs to be inclusive.
