Dig Vicariously in Mesoamerica
Dr. Michael Smith from Arizona State University is leading the multi-year project, and is one of the primary contributors to the blog.
A Postclassic urban center, the site is of particular interest because it includes well-preserved public architecture and residential zones.
I particularly enjoyed reading about the likely ancient name for the city, which Smith says was populated by non-Nahuatl speakers (the language of the Aztecs).
One last note: the site of Calixtlahuaca is the source of one of the only suspected European artifacts discovered in a precolumbian New World context: the Roman Figurine. Most agree that it is not a Roman artifact, but Romeo Hristov at the University of New Mexico hasn't given up hope.
