Last week's reading group focused on the issue of soundscapes and, in particular, those of sweatbaths in the Maya world. Thank you to all who participated, and welcome back to Alson Ovando who has been away from our group due to his busy schedule. Alson has completed his undergraduate degree at the University of Belize and is currently undertaking an internship with the Institute of Archaeology in Belize, stationed at the Serpon Sugar Mill Site in Stann Creek District. If you are ever in Belize, make sure to take the trip to Serpon--you won't be sorry! The link will take you to the summary of the article discussed, and some of our discussion questions (link in bio) #scraparky #archaeologybelize #stanncreekdistrict

SCRAP has a new, open-access journal article available in the Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, titled “It’s What’s Inside that Counts: Developing a paste group typology in Belize.” The study was co-produced by archaeologists Jillian Jordan (USA) and Meaghan Peuramaki-Brown (Canada), local potters Aurora Saqui (Maya Centre, Belize) and Frank Tzib (San Antonio, Belize), and traditional ecological knowledge specialist Sylvestro Chiac (Maya Mopan, Belize). The following blog post (link in bio) provides a link to the article, and an easy-to-read summary of what the article investigates and concludes, along with the future directions of our pottery studies. #scraparky #belizehistory #mayaarchaeology #petrography #dinolite #potterystudies

SCRAP directors Dr. Meaghan Peuramaki-Brown and Dr. Shawn Morton will be presenting along with Dr. Marieka Brouwer Burg of the BREA project. Our presentation is titled "Away from 'The Field': Pivoting Archaeological Investigations during Pandemic Times." See link in bio for information on how to view the recorded presentations, and join us tomorrow for the discussion. Registration is free or by donation. #scraparky #belize #mayaarchaeologyinbelize #stanncreekdistrictbelize

Congratulations to Antonio Beardall on his successful MA thesis defense! Toni’s research, titled “Public Archaeology and Cultural Heritage Management in Belize: Success and Shortcomings” discusses important topics regarding the history of archaeological outreach and collaboration between archaeologists and the Belizean public, current efforts made by Belizean organizations and institutes to engage and educate the public on the histories of Belize, and the challenges of public misconception and the lack of resources needed for such institutions to operate in the most efficient manner. We are excited to see the in-field implications of this research and look forward to future research by @mr_madonna ! #scraparky #belize #belizearchaeology
