TTPS presents: Revealing the Real Roatan

Join us as Dr. Christian Wells, Ph.D. presents
Revealing the Real Roatan



Little is known about the original inhabitants of Roatán, an island off the north coast of Honduras  that has become a tourist destination. There is no evidence that the ancient Maya lived there,  but some people like to give the impression that they did, believing that appeals to tourists. Archaeologist Christian Wells has been excavating sites on the island to uncover its true history  and to gauge the effect tourism is having on the island’s cultural resources. Join us as Dr. Wells presents the fascinating history of this island.
