NICH celebrated International Archaeology Day at Xunantunich on Thursday.  They made a nice short video showing what transpired.  They had a ball court game.
 
'In celebration of International Archaeology Day, the National Institute of Culture and History hosted an archaeology fair at the renowned Xunantunich Archaeological Reserve in San Jose Succotz on October 27, 2022. The Institute of Archaeology along with other stakeholders displayed booths that highlighted various areas of archaeology, from research techniques to hands-on activities. It was also an opportunity to recognise the persons who passionately work to unveil our past, uncover our buried relics and preserve our traditions.'
