So far, the Three Rivers Project has identified more than 60 previously unknown Maya archaeological sites, a number of them ancient cities. Texas camp houses up to about 85 people at a time. The facilities include an enclosed kitchen, a field laboratory, a dormitory building, small enclosed housing units, and tent areas built on cement footings that are covered by tin roofing. A cement-based shower complex has a number of stalls. Camp now has 24-hour electrical power that is supplied by a generator.
Cooks prepare three meals per day, seven days per week.
Research teams typically eat breakfast and dinner in camp and pack a lunch to eat on site during the day. Laundry is done for each individual in camp by hired laundresses once a week. Sleeping quarters consist of an enclosed dormitory and spacious tents. Tents are pitched on cement slabs under cover of a tin roof.
