Dr. Estrada-Belli’s dig continues to unveil important keys to Maya history. With MAI’s help, he is protecting sites at Holmul, where the pottery sherds below were found. Dr. Nina Nievins unearthed a massive Maya mask at Holmul, visited by Sarah Mott, Sam Haswell and Clay Haswell.  The miniature carved head was found at a new dig at Dos Aguadas, funded in part by National Geographic. At Cival, thought to be the oldest of all royal Maya cities , MAI helps fund guards protecting against looters.
