Guatemala, Belize, Mexico, Honduras, art, culture, ancient civilizations, Maya archaeology, hieroglyphics, epigraphy, and iconography. Index and description of all the several hundred pages for www.maya-archaeology.org. Links to other Maya sites also included (exterior links under development).
These sites are dedicated to Maya art and archaeology (as well as related civilizations such as the Olmec, and Teotihuacan), primarily of Guatemala but also adjacent Belize, Honduras, and Mexico. In addition, the FLAAR web sites seek to provide information about how advances in digital imaging technology can help in their research and especially in desktop publishing as a means of publishing research results.
