Harvard Summer Program in Copan, Honduras
Honduras
Term: Summer
Dates: TBA
Description:
Dubbed by early scholars as "the Athens of the New World" for its evocative stone sculptures, Copan serves as an ideal study site for students interested in archaeology, epigraphy, museums, and Latin American studies. In the five-week session, students learn about ongoing archaeological investigations through on-site training. Since the rediscovery of the ruins in the 1830s, Copan has been the setting for many of the major breakthroughs in the study of classic Maya civilization. More recently, in the past three decades, the stone sculptures and their extensive hieroglyphic texts have been the subject of a comprehensive multidisciplinary research program in which Harvard scholars have endeavored to describe and explain the rise and fall of this distinguished ancient center of arts and sciences. Copán is recognized as the best understood city of the Ancient Maya and one of the best represented in site museums.
