"You can be trying to survey and to map sites in the rainforest, and what would take you years to accomplish, LIDAR can do in a couple of days of flying over these large areas."Reese-Taylor has been working for years with the Bajo Laberinto Archaeological Project, a University of Calgary-led multidisciplinary research project, in conjunction with Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia (INAH) Campeche in Mexico.Some of these structures you may be the first person to walk on in over a thousand years, so it's really exciting."Reese-Taylor said although the presence of temples and palaces is tempting, the initial excavation will be a little more mundane.But I think right now we've got to focus on the households — just because we have some information on the history of the temples and the downtown civic structure, but we have no data on the people who actually lived there.""
