Abstract

Josuhé Lozada Toledo, an archaeologist at Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History, works with Lacandon Maya communities in the Mexican state of Chiapas. Olivia Navarro-Farr, an archaeologist at the College of Wooster, found offerings of everyday objects, such as domestic pottery and stone tools, deposited on either side of the temple staircase during the time the city was being abandoned. "A lot of us [archaeologists] tend to think that Western ways of seeing the world are somehow natural or obvious, or the only option", says Sarah Kurnick, an archaeologist at CU who is participating in the session.
