A new outdoor dormitory is under construction at the archaeological site at Holmul. Dedicated to former Board member Roger “Chopper” Lyon, who died in a plane crash while carrying doctors to a free clinic in Mexico, will be an open-air “palapa” and will house international students.

The archaeology crew at Holmul leaves for a day of digging.

International students gather at the Holmul site.
