I work with students (mostly at UCF) and volunteers, using Google Earth to map pre-Columbian earthworks in the Bolivian Amazon. I am an archaeologist, and I travel to Bolivia for fieldwork, where I work with a community museum called the Museo Yacuma. If we can get together some laptops and some internet access, we could work together and do some mapping, and talk about the best ways to organize people into community research projects. Some relevant information is at the websites below:

This proposal is somewhere between a Make and a Talk, I think.
