Welcome!
Welcome to the wesbite for the archaeological project known by its Spanish name Proyecto Regional Arqueológico La Corona (PRALC).
PRALC has been conducting multi-disciplinary archaeological research in the tropical rainforest of northern Guatemala since 2008. It has focused its excavations on the Classic Maya city of La Corona, once known only as the mysterious "Site Q."
We hope you find this site useful and informative. We are still building it, so please excuse some of our unfinished pages! We will continue to update the site so come back often!

What's new
In partnership with Mesoweb, PRALC announces a new publication series called: La Corona Notes.
This series will disseminate the latest results and interpretations resulting from research on the Classic Maya center of La Corona in northern Peten, Guatemala. Mitigating the usual lag between discovery and publication, the series will provide project members a venue to rapidly circulate ideas, decipherments, or discoveries deemed interesting and useful to a wider public.
Series editors: Marcello A. Canuto, Tomás Barrientos Q., and David Stuart.
