Yucundaa is a ruin site that was first excavated by
Dr. Spores (whose been with us for over a week here giving tours/ talks/ lectures) and a team just in 2006... Sadly, there was no money to keep Yucundaa open to the public like Monte Alban, so to protect it, Yucundaa was covered back up! Hard to imagine, huh?
It was very interesting to see all the ruins being overgrown again, covered in grass, trees etc. And there were pottery shards EVERYWHERE.

Cool pottery shards found by Stef.

I had heard about the ruins being covered again to protect them. Around Belize I believe.
