FEATURED STORY
Archaeology Team Finds Royal Treasures: Brown archaeologists in Guatemala have discovered a tightly-sealed 1,600-year-old Mayan king's tomb, packed with a well-preserved hoard of carvings, ceramics, and children's bones that cast fresh light on the vanished civilization.
"It's like their Fort Knox, their depositary of wealth... that's what's overwhelming about it," says Professor of Archaeology Stephen Houston, the dig's director at El Zotz. The team includes graduate students Sarah Newman(above), Nick Carter, James Doyle, Alex Knodell, Alex Smith, and former postdoctoral fellow Thomas Garrison.
