Jason W. Barrett, whose research interests include lithic use wear analysis and the political ecology of the ancient Maya, will be the speaker for this meeting of the Houston Archeological Society.

He will bring a selection of Mayan stone tools for attendees to examine.

He has participated in archeological projects in Texas, New England, Mexico, Belize and American Samoa, and has taught multiple courses in anthropology at Texas A&M University, Baylor University and Blinn College.
