I’m more than a month late with this report, but it’s well worth the wait.
As previously stated I have been somewhat preoccupied of late, mostly for personal reasons, but those reasons that are professional will be explained in due course. Hopefully things will get back to normal in the coming weeks.
In the meantime, in the jungles of Honduras, excavations are continuing at the site known as the “City of the Jaguar”. That’s quite a name for a city, don’t you think? Certainly better than “Grimsby”, although no offence is meant to anyone who has any connection to that wonderful northern English town.
The City of the Jaguar was discovered in 2012 using LiDar, and probably dates to between 1000-1520 AD, although that seems like a pretty wild guess for the time being.
Although the site has not been related to any particular culture, there is no doubt its location means the people who lived there were either Maya or had direct contact with the Maya. Certainly some of the artefacts look Maya, but then there’s something a little odd about them that I can’t quite put my finger on.
Certainly this site is extremely intriguing and I hope more news will come soon about this amazing discovery.
