Mayan Blogs

What are some decent, semi-regularly updated blogs focusing on Mayan archaeology? How about regularly updated sites detailing current excavations and fieldwork? Any language will work, but English or Spanish would be a bonus...

I don't research at all in the Maya world, but these are a few I've come across...

Lots of topics, sometimes on Maya theory: Publishing Archaeology

If you haven't seen them, the NYTimes hosted a whole series of posts on Ceibal through their Scientists at Work series: http://scientistatwork.blogs.nytimes.com/tag/ceibal/

From Belize:

Caracol has a great site, with different blogs: http://www.caracol.org/

Their Institute of Archaeology often features Maya discoveries, and while new, is updated semi-frequently: http://instituteofarchaeologynich.blogspot.com/

Another list: http://www.instituteofmayastudies.org/index.php/links/maya-related-blogs

This is part of a travel series and it's on a limited time frame to 2012, but it's frequently updated and seems to be linking to useful publications and excavations: http://www.moon.com/blogs/mundo-maya

Personal blog of a Maya researcher: https://haecceities.wordpress.com/ with some serious calendar discussions

Some friends used to run this site, which is why I know about it.
