For the most part, the south group remains in the same poor state of preservation as it did when Morley first examined it. Nevertheless, the Dovecote has been studied by a number of experts including the German anthropologist Eduard Georg Seler in 1917, the American-Russian Mayanist, Tatiana Proskouriakoff in 1946 George F. Andrews in 1975 and Harry Pollock in 1980.
