Abstract
THE objective of the British Museum Expedition to British Honduras this season was the group of ruins situated between the Pusilha and Joventud branches of the Mojo River in British Honduras. A preliminary investigation of the area had been made in 1928 by Capt. E. L. Gruning, Dr. T. Gann, and Mr. H. Clive-Smith. The primary objects this year were to bring back as many as possible of the inscribed stone stela; to excavate a cave which gave indications of having been used as a pottery dump; to survey the main site so far as possible; to carry on excavation in the numerous mounds; and to prospect for other ruins in the neighbourhood. I was accompanied by Capt. E. L. Gruning, who undertook supervision of transport; and by Mr. Robert Ashton, who looked after the commissariat.
