Congratulations to Dr. Elizabeth Graham who has been chosen for the Society for American Archaeology Award for Excellence in Latin American and Caribbean Archaeology. This award is presented annually to an individual who has made a lasting and significant contribution to the practice of archaeology and/or to the construction of archaeological knowledge in Latin America or the Caribbean. Liz conducted the first extensive archaeological survey of the Stann Creek District in the 1970s and has been an invaluable supporter of SCRAP since our beginning. Congratulations to an amazing scholar and colleague! #scraparky

Yesterday was pottery. Today is obsidian. Finishing up some analysis before sending these down to Calgary for XRF sourcing before they are brought back to Belize. These obsidian artifacts were exported this past summer—thanks to a permit from @ianich_belize—and are to be repatriated within one year. This is standard practice for archaeological materials in Belize. #scraparky #dinolite

Prepping pottery to be sent for thin sectioning. Can’t wait to see these beautiful Stann Creek sherds under the petrographic microscope! In the meanwhile, we’re examining some exciting construction materials from last summer’s excavations. Come see our poster all about these materials @caa.aca2020 conference in Edmonton, as well as this year’s BAS in Belize @ianich_belize #scraparky

Come volunteer @caa.aca2020 ! Make sure to say hello to Drs. Peuramaki-Brown and Morton when you are there 😊 #scraparky
