The monthly meeting of the Utah County Chapter of the Utah Statewide Archaeological Society will be Thursday (Nov. 19) at 7 p.m. at the Provo City Library, 550 N. University Ave., Provo, in Room 308. November’s speaker will be Nick Hearth, who will give a presentation based upon his doctoral dissertation research on the technology and economy of ancient Maya stone tools at Chan, Belize. Hearth is an archaeologist whose previous research in Central America includes settlement, subsistence and stone tool studies of the Yalahua Region of Quintana Roo, Mexico, and a thesis on use and breakage patterns of candeleros, a type of small ceramic incense burner, from the region surrounding Santa Barbara, Honduras. Outside of Central America, Nicholas has worked for contract archaeology companies in Massachusetts, Connecticut and California, and now works in Utah. In these capacities, he has had the privilege of excavating and conducting survey at sites dating from the Paleoindian to Historic periods. Members of USAS and anyone interested in Utah archaeology are invited to attend. Refreshments will be served. For more information, please contact Toni Wall at (801) 798-2085.
