FALL 2009 MAYA FIELD WORKSHOP

THE ART AND HISTORY OF COPAN
November 1-7, 2009

Maya Field Workshops introduce you to the world of Maya archaeology  
and epigraphy in intensive, on-site seminars. Led by renowned  
archaeologist David Stuart of the University of Texas at Austin, we  
focus not on tours and traveling, but on a concentrated learning  
experience at a single place. In Fall 2009 we will be based in Copan,  
Honduras, where participants will take part in a unique, hands-on  
intellectual and cultural exploration of ancient Maya civilization.

Over six days you will become immersed in Copan’s ancient history and  
culture. A key part of your experience will be the opportunity to  
learn about Copan’s court and community in its original, genuine  
setting. Each day we will visit the temples and major architecture of  
Copan, reading and decoding their monuments and inscriptions. We will  
explore the reigns of its kings and dynasties over the course of  
several centuries, roughly between 400 and 850 A.D. We will combine  
this on-site experience with daily lectures and workshops, so  
participants can work directly and actively with Copan’s history, art  
and archaeology.
