6:00 PM - 7:00 PM Wednesday, February 19, 2014
In the 1960s, Gordon Willey and a team of Harvard archaeologists led the investigation of Ceibal, a Maya site in Guatemala. Their research revealed that Ceibal was a very early settlement, predating cities constructed in the heyday of Maya civilization. Recent excavations in Ceibal, directed by professors of Anthropology, Takeshi Inomata and Daniela Triadan, have produced new findings. Inomata and Triadan discuss the new discoveries and what they reveal about the origins of Maya culture and society.
