Standing Stela- Past and Present

3D ModelNoAI

Quiriguá Stela K - shown in relation to image taken in 1909 showing the west (right) and east (left) sides of the monument. The photo was taken during fieldwork at the site by Edgar Hewett, Director of the School of American Archaeology in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This carved stone monument belongs to the Maya site of Quiriguá, located in the Department of Izabal, Guatemala. The USF CDHGI team is working in collaboration with Guatemalan archaeologists and site management to record stela, monuments, and carvings, as well as terrain and site landscape details.
