About this event
A conference on the Mirador Basin in northern Guatemala, where LiDAR surveys have been turning dense jungle into maps of enormous Preclassic Maya cities and the causeways that linked them. One of the most consequential archaeological projects anywhere right now, presented free in central Madrid.
Why we picked it
Frontier Maya archaeology — the LiDAR discoveries rewriting the Preclassic — explained free by the people doing it.
