Today is the last day before 2 of the group leave us tomorrow and the rest of the group head on to Guatemala. It's been a fantastic project and very successful. In all we found 9 caves with evidence of Mayan use and some very interesting Mayan pottery. One piece in particular, a ceremonial vase is of extreme interest to the Institute of Archaeology and the Director Dr Jaime Awe has send the vase to the top experts on Mayan artifacts in Mexico to be fully restored and translated. It will then take pride of place in the museum in Belmopan... when it is built!! :) It is also from around 200AD, much earlier than all other artifacts found in the area we were surveying so it has changed ideas about the period that the Mayans were active in the area.
