Berlin, Jan 26 (efe-epa)The Maya city of Santa Rosa Xtampak remains largely covered by jungle, but a team of archaeologists will try to reveal details of its origin and relationship with other contemporaneous cities on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Other world renowned archaeological sites, like Chichen Itza and Uxmal, have been the subjects of numerous studies, but this city – along with Edzna, considered to be the most significant hub of the Classical Maya Period between 250-900 A.D. in the central Yucatan Peninsula – has barely been excavated.
