Jaime Awe, an associate professor in the Department of Anthropology and graduate students Jordan Lee and Scott Yost are featured in “Ancient Maya Metropolis” which premieres January 26 on NOVA. The program investigates dramatic new evidence of the catastrophic droughts and instability that pushed cities beyond their limits. The evidence also testifies to the survival and resilience of the Maya people, whose traditions and creativity continue to enrich the world today.
