"The work I will be presenting on is co-authored by Stephen Houston, Thomas Garrison (UT Austin), Byron Smith (UT Austin), Timothy Beach (UT Austin), and Elizabeth Marroquín (Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala). The talk is titled "Citadels, Sieges, and Water Supply: Maya Warfare at La Cuernavilla, Guatemala."
Morgan presented the results of her recent excavation of a cistern, or water storage facility, while also discussing the implications of those findings.
"I'm looking forward to being at the conference in person, as this is my first time being at the SAAs non-virtually. I am excited to see old friends and hopefully make some new ones too!"
You can read more about the excavation in this feature from National Geographic.
