Sierra del Lacandon - Golden

Joel has directed me to Charles Golden, recently of the Piedras Negras Project, who is doing a survey of Maya sites between Yaxchilan and PN on the Guatemalan side.

Until I know more, here is the Homepage of the Sierra del Lacandon Regional Archaeology Project.

It has a terrific summary of the dam situation, with maps, called Threat of Dams on the Usumacinta River

And thanks to his resources:

This new article in Archaeology Magazine on dams in the Mundo Maya.

And this pdf file from The Center for Governmental Responsibility at the University of Florida's Levin College of Law: The Usumacinta River: Building a Framework for Cooperation Between Mexico and
Guatemala.
