New
York Times: A husband-and-wife archaeological team from the
University of Central Florida in Orlando have used a new
approachâmdash;lidar (light detection and
ranging)âmdash;to investigate the remains of
one of the largest Maya cities in Central America. By using
airborne laser signals that penetrated the dense jungle in
Belize, Arlen and Diane Chase mapped out the topographic detail
of the site of ancient
Caracol—an area that
the couple has been studying for the past 25 years.
