Please join us in celebrating Women's History with a tribute to the "Indiana Jane" of Maya studies Dr. Merle Greene Robertson.Some might have said that in 1962 the jungles of Central American were no place for a woman. But Dr. Robertson bushwhacked into remote sites virtually unvisited in the modern era.And she carried out the arduous process of making paper rubbings of relief sculptures under the most adverse conditions, preserving a priceless cultural heritage before erosion and the elements took a further toll.
