2016-17
The Tihosuco Heritage Preservation and Community Development Project works with a Maya community on the development of a very different heritage story of the past tied to small-scale economic projects. This is a major shift in how archaeology is conducted and the connection of archaeological studies, not just about the past, but to the creation of communities in the 21st century. Equally groundbreaking, the project follows a bottom-up model of heritage and economic development.
