Has Isthmian Writing Been Deciphered?

Stephen D. Houston, Michael D. Coe, 2003. Mexicon 25(6), pp. 151 to 161.

Applies the Justeson and Kaufman values to the text on the back of a Teotihuacan-style stone mask of unknown provenance, about 101 glyphs and 25 new to the corpus, and finds that they do not yield a reading; concludes that Isthmian remains undeciphered.
