Abstract
FOR several years past, Dr. Gann has published annually a volume containing an account of his adventures and experiences while engaged in archaeological exploration in Central America during the preceding winter. Entertaining and instructive as the preceding narratives have been, the present surpasses them in interest, as it contains not only an account of the further exploration of the remarkable site of Lubaantun, opened up in the preceding year, but it also records one of the most sensational discoveries hitherto made in American chronology, as well as the revelation of an entirely new and unexpected centre of Mayan culture, of which many features are unique.
Ancient Cities and Modern Tribes: Exploration and Adventure in Maya Lands.
By Thomas Gann. Pp. 256 + 32 plates. (London: Gerald Duckworth and Co., Ltd., 1926.) 21s. net.
