Edwin M. Shook Archival Collection, Guatemala City, Guatemala

Site Records

The Guatemalan archaeological site record forms were digitized by putting the data contained on each record into a Microsoft Access file that contains the following information: site name, department, municipality, alternative name, informant, dating, cultural phase, samples, location, map name and number, and sketch map when available. The sites are organized by department (Guatemala has 22 departments). The text was transcribed literally from the original source. This file contains 1614 entries which represent the total number of archaeological sites recorded by Dr. Shook. Many of these sites have disappeared so this record is important in understanding Guatemala’s archaeological landscape. Following is a sample of a site record form.
