An archaeological team co-led by archaeologist Brigitte Kovacevich, Southern Methodist University, will begin excavation in summer 2011 at the early Maya site “Head of Stone” in the Central Lakes region of Guatemala. New 3-D topographical surveys have confirmed the size and location of more than 100 buildings buried beneath centuries of foliage.
