Information from the Millsaps web site
describes the program:
Archaeologists, scientists, and students
from Millsaps College, the Autonomous University of the Yucatan, and the
National Institute of Anthropology and History (Mexico) work together with
students and researchers from American colleges and universities to
preserve and explore archaeological treasures, protect the fragile
ecosystem, promote research and educational tourism, and involve current
and future material culture and living communities. |
