The Maya Research Program is a U.S.-based non-profit organization (501C3) that sponsors archaeological and ethnographic research in Middle America. Each summer since 1992, we have sponsored archaeological fieldwork at the ancient Maya site of Blue Creek in northwestern Belize. In 2012 we again offer opportunities to participate in our field program and learn about the Maya of the past and today. The Blue Creek project is open to student and non-student participants, regardless of experience. Participants will receive training in both excavation and laboratory techniques and receive a “crash course” on the Maya and archaeological methodology. The Blue Creek field school is certified by the Register of Professional Archaeologists. Academic credit and scholarships are available. Please see http://www.mayaresearchprogram.org for additional information. MRP’s Welker scholarship deadline is April 1st, 2012. We invite students and volunteers to participate in the Maya Research Program’s 21st year of our Blue Creek archaeological project in Belize. 2012 Field Season Dates: Session 1: Monday May 28 - Sunday June 10; Session 2: Monday June 11 - Sunday June 24 ; Session 3: Monday July 2 - Sunday July 15; Session 4: Monday July 16 - Sunday July 29 For additional information please contact the Maya Research Program: www.mayaresearchprogram.org 1910 East Southeast Loop 323 #296 Tyler, Texas 75701 817-831-9011 mrpinquiries@gmail.com
