The Ceibal-Petexbatn Archaeological Project has built long-standing relationships in the area around Ceibal, Guatemala, particularly in the Qeqchi Maya village of Las Pozas. Both Qeqchi and ladino (non-indigenous) people in the region face serious, systemic problems, including a loss of access to land and an absence of economic opportunities. The ancient Maya sites in the area have been damaged by deforestation and looting. Project archaeologists seek to improve economic conditions in local communities while encouraging the preservation of cultural heritage. Here, we describe past microfinance and classroom outreach projects conducted in Las Pozas and discuss future initiatives that could make archaeological heritage more beneficial to multiple communities.
