Something a little different for our supporters

Something a little different for our supportersFor your viewing pleasure, we are posting a movie trailer that premiered last summer during Brett Houk's presentation at the Belize Archaeology and Anthropology Symposium. Group H is part of the site of Chan Chich and it is important because it contains the remains of at least four stone tool workshops. The CCAP investigated Group H in the late 1990s, but Houk revisited the data for the symposium in 2014. As the last paper of the conference on Friday afternoon, there was tremendous pressure to spice things up a bit!

Gosh, I thought things were getting pretty dicey when you had to pull out the machete to attack that plant, but then I saw the ending. Wow! Houkie's gone Hollywood!

Colonial Period Archaeology in Northwestern Belize

Texas Tech University

The late colonial period in Belize is one of the country's least studied periods of history from an archaeological standpoint, yet it represents a fascinating case study in cultural contact. Two sites in the Belize Estates Archaeological Survey Team's (BEAST) permit area may help us learn more about this intriguing period of history. Are late colonial period artifacts and features preserved at two sites in the jungles of northwestern Belize?
