Get involved in archaeological fieldwork in northwestern Belize! PLEASE NOTE: The scholarship deadline to apply is April 1st, 2011!

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 2011 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. The field school is certified by the Register of Professional Archaeologists and participants will receive training in archaeological field and laboratory techniques.

 Academic credit and scholarships are available. (Please note the scholarship application deadline is April 1, 2011. Please see http://www.mayaresearchprogram.org/web-content/scholarship1.html for further information.)
