Ancient Costa Rica, revisited

I just found out about the death of Michael Snarskis, an archaeologist who was an early mentor to my undergraduate anthropology mentor, John Hoopes.

You might remember Snarskis from a series of posts I wrote last year about the ancient cultures of Costa Rica. Snarskis helped me understand the context behind Costa Rica's beautiful gold and stone artwork, and was my tour guide on a trip to the ancient city of Guayabo. He will be missed.
