Q Marks the Spot: Recent find fingers long-sought Maya city
By Bruce Bower
Scientists working at a Guatemalan archaeological site that’s more than 1,400 years old have reported finding a hieroglyphic-covered stone panel that, they say, conclusively identifies the ancient settlement as the enigmatic Site Q, a Maya city about which researchers have long speculated.
Yale University archaeologist Marcello Canuto found the well-preserved panel last April at a site called La Corona.
