Listeros,

The correct location is listed below the lecture synosis;

>> Friday, July 11th
>> Precolumbian Society of Washington DC Lecture
>> "Of Mountains, Caves, and People: Landscape and Identity in Classic
>> Maya Texts and Images"
>> Alexandre Tokovinine
>> "This presentation addresses the questions of how Classic Maya
>> represented their landscape and how they identified themselves in
>> relation to certain places. I discuss what written narratives and
>> images can tell us about the Classic Maya notions of place and
>> community. I also present some evidence suggesting that, although the
>> Classic Maya world was divided into dozens of independent kingdoms,
>> these kingdoms saw themselves as parts of larger geopolitical groups
>> based on shared identities."
