National Geographic: “Lost City Revealed Under Centuries of Jungle Growth”
Science journalist Ker Than interviewed SMU archaeologist Brigitte Kovacevich about her Maya research in Guatemala. His article "Lost City Revealed Under Centuries of Jungle Growth" published April 26 on the daily news web site of National Geographic.
Kovacevich, an assistant professor in the SMU Department of Anthropology, is an expert in Meso-American cultures and co-leader of an international scientific team that has been granted permission by the Guatemalan government to work the site of Holtun, or "Head of Stone," which has never before been excavated.
