UPDATES FROM THE FIELD: Dr. Guy Hepp and grad student Julian Acuna are continuing their research in Oaxaca and enjoying some of the fantastic cultural sites, including the Classic period Zapotec site of Monte Albán and the famous Danzante carvings!

Dr. Guy Hepp, professor in the Applied Archaeology program, and Applied Archaeology graduate student Julian Acuña just arrived in Cuilapan, Oaxaca where they will be working at a Mexican government facility with Early Formative artifacts from the site of La Consentida.

Congratulation to Julian who secured two grants for his thesis research on these artifacts!
