An early preview of the results of the LiDAR mapping around the centre of ancient Sarteneja. Can't wait to see more!

Always cool to see LiDAR in use in Belize, and this time particularly close to home! A team from Michigan State University is currently in Sarteneja conducting archaeological surveys. Best of luck to them! There's so much of archaeological interest in the forests around the village, and this technology is a very useful addition to ground-based surveys.
