Graduate student Erik Jurado received an Alice Hamilton Scholarship. He will use the funds travel, lodging and food expenses for a three month excavation of three elite residential mounds at San Ignacio, a Classic Period (300- 600CE) regional center in the central highlands of Mexico. The research will indicate how rural households at San Ignacio interacted with Teotihuacan in terms of their social, religious, and political-economic lives. Erik is a twice previous awarded scholar.
