Recently I've been working on a project that spun out from what I've learned at Merakiva Travel:

Archaeolist.com

Archaeology does a poor job of actually communicating what we know and new research. This website is my first step in trying to collect that data & make it interesting.

Just for a change some of the journalism is a bit all over the place here.
Great discovery though.

One archaeological site we're digging lately: Vilcabamba, Peru

Notably, it was where the last of the Inca retreated to after the Incan Empire was conquered by the Spanish.
