A Pompeii of the Americas

Dates have yet to be announced

Throughout the turmoil of Central America's civil wars in the 1980s, archaeologist Payson Sheets worked to unearth an extraordinarily well-preserved 1,400-year-old Maya village. A scalding blanket of ash erupted from the Loma Caldera volcanic vent around AD 630, freezing the farming village of Ceren in time. Ceren is located in today's El Salvador and has become known as the "Pompeii of the Americas." Sheets and his team uncovered evidence of everyday life in the village, including artifacts showing that the Maya were likely in the middle of a harvest feast when the explosion occurred.
