The Restoration of a Georgian Period Parthenon Frieze (2014)
During the Georgian Period a sculptor named John Henning (1771-1851) obtained permission to make a model of the Parthenon friezes.

A Review of Human and Natural Changes in Maya Lowlands Wetlands Over the Holocene
In the Maya Lowlands of Mexico, Belize, and Guatemala two main types of wetlands have played important roles in human history: bajos or intermittently wet environments of the upland, interior Yucatán and perennial wetlands of the coastal plains. Many of the most important Maya sites encircle the bajos, though our growing evidence for human-wetland interactions is still sparse. The deposits of these wetlands record two main eras of slope instability and wetland aggradation: the...
