ARCHAEOLOGY IN BELIZE, CENTRAL AMERICA
The Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project announces its archaeological investigations for the summer of 2022!
The BVAR Project is hosting its annual summer field school in Belize in Summer 2022. Our fieldwork will focus on the ancient Maya kingdoms of Xunantunich, Cahal Pech and Baking Pot, all located on the outskirts of San Ignacio Town, Belize. Cahal Pech is one of the earliest known Maya sites, and excavations will continue to uncover evidence for the first farming communities dating back as early as 1200 BC. At Baking Pot, excavations will expose portions of the site’s royal palace to examine the role of elite in ancient Maya political systems. Investigations at Xunantunich will continue exposing elite residences to document the abandonment of the site around AD 900.
WHO SHOULD APPLY? Students looking for hands-on field experience in archaeology, including excavation, survey, and lab analysis.
