The Blog is Up!

I've actually got the blog up and running! You can find it here. I have a short introductory post and a funny (to me, at least) vignette about packing for a long field season and traveling to Belize. I will be putting things on the blog that are not necessarily relevant to this project, but I encourage anyone who is interested to follow the blog, too. It's a work in progress and something I've never done before, but it's been fun thus far, and I think it will be a good supplement to the Lab Notes we'll continue to post.

Cheers from Belize,

Sherman

About This Project

Aerial LiDAR surveys have been popular tools for mapping ancient Maya settlements through the dense rainforest canopy. LiDAR mapping at El Pilar revealed several previously unknown large structures, but many smaller structures in low, swampy areas were invisible to this technique. This project will develop a program of field-checking LiDAR anomalies to clarify the patterns of small structures in seasonal swamps, where settlement models predict people would not live.

Blast off!
