UCI Forum Will Dig Into Mayan Culture

An Archaeological Institute of America symposium Jan. 10 at UC Irvine will open and close with ritualistic blessings by a Mayan shaman.

Experts from UCLA, UC Riverside, UC Santa Barbara and the University of Colorado will discuss recent and older findings in Mayan culture and history. The emphasis is on agriculture, resource managements, and recent findings in Belize, Colombia and San Salvador.

The institute’s Orange County Society holds regular meetings for the public, typically at Southern California College in Costa Mesa.
