Looking for Lost Shakers of Salt: Maya Coastal Archaeology in Belize Conference/Lecture Thursday, February 15, 2024 The event started -225 days agoMultiday event - 0 days 1:00 PM 2:20 PM Wilson Hall Room 226 AIA Spring 2024 Lecture Series: Dr. Gabriel Wrobel, Department of Anthropology, Michigan State University The Marco Gonzalez Archaeological Project investigates the lives and deaths of Pre-Contact (AD 1 – 1500) Maya in a coastal Maya community in northern Belize. Excavations focused on residential and public architecture show how the settlement grew from a small fishing community to become a center of industrial-scale salt production, and later an important hub in long-distance trade networks. Analyses of the skeletons of many of those who lived at Marco Gonzalez help paint a humanistic picture of everyday life in this small, but once powerful community. Free and open to the public. Sponsored by the North Alabama Society of the Archaeological Institute of America (AIA).
