A new lost city? A new casestudy for collapse?

With the end of this blog approaching it was quite nice to come across this article in the National Geographic.

There are finally plans to excavate an ancient lost city in Honduras, Central America. The site is located Eastern Hounduras in the Mosquitia region where it is believed there lies several other lost cities.

The ancient site already has numerous stone artefacts as well as pyramids and plazas but nothing is known about the society that lived there and its culture. Will this lost city provide us with a new case-study for collapse? Only time will tell...
