In celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Millsaps Puuc Archaeological Research Center (MPARC), Tomás Gallareta Negrón will make a special presentation at the Mérida English Library: “New Archaeological Research in the Bolonchen District of the Puuc Región”.

Dr. Gallareta Negrón’s lecture explores how cutting-edge LiDAR technology is transforming our understanding of ancient Maya civilization, particularly in the Puuc region of Yucatán. By penetrating dense vegetation and revealing hidden architectural features, LiDAR has uncovered previously unknown settlements and reshaped interpretations of Maya urbanism and chronology. This lecture will highlight new evidence of early occupation sites and offer insights into the organization and development of Late and Terminal Classic communities.

Bolochen’s landscape, now digitally mapped with unprecedented precision, reveals a complex network of residential compounds, ceremonial structures, and agricultural modifications that challenge earlier assumptions about the scale and sophistication of Maya life in this zone. Dr. Gallareta Negrón will present recent findings that illuminate how Bolochen fits into broader regional patterns and contributes to a more nuanced understanding of Maya settlement dynamics.

Please join us on Tuesday December 2 starting at 11:00 AM to learn more about this fascinating project.
