Xunantunich 2022 Field Season Excavations with Dr. Jaime Awe 

Thanks for accessing the Institute of Maya Studies RU-vid channel. In June of 2022, IMS Explorer newsletter editor Jim Reed enjoyed a Maya adventure in Western Belize. Archaeologist Dr. Jaime Awe showed him the excavations at Xunantunich. This video shows Awe describing Middle Preclassic structure excavations at one end of a ballcourt; excavations of a sweatbath; the important hieroglyphic Panels 3 & 4 uncovered in front of Structure A-9; and the tomb of a female within Structure A-9. The Panels will play an important part of the discussion at an Institute of Maya Studies’ sponsored symposium/roundtable at this year’s Maya at the Playa event on Saturday, October 1st. Join the IMS by going to their website at: instituteofmayastudies.org We’re celebrating our 50th anniversary of providing public education about the Maya.
