Archaeological expeditions are one of our specialties. Dr. Christopher Begley, a Fulbright Scholar and long-time researcher in Central America, designs and guides our archaeological tours. Students will experience first-hand the realities of archaeological research in the tropics, and explore issues such as political and cultural ramifications of archaeological research, preservation and protection problems, and the role of archaeology in the local economy. Archaeological programs may focus on the remote Mosquito Coast area, the more accessible areas such as the North Coast, Bay Islands, or the Maya area, or any combination of those. |
