Program Description:
Field School in Maya Archaeology

The FSMA is part of the Chan Chich Archaeological Project, under the direction of Dr. Brett A. Houk of the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work at Texas Tech. The field school is open to college students who have completed one year of course work and have at least a 2.5 GPA, regardless of major. Space is limited to 13 students. The slots will be assigned to the most qualified students, but applying early will improve your chances of being accepted to the program because applications will be processed in two batches. Getting your application in early helps your chances of getting a slot tremendously.  Students must be physically capable of excavating and hiking in order to participate on the field school. Excavating entails lifting up to 25 pounds, swinging a pick, and using a shovel, in addition to more detailed work using a trowel and paint brush.
