Motul de San José is a classic period Maya site, located in the Lake Petén region of Guatemala near Tikal. The site has been the focus of archaeological investigations since 1998 by a joint project supported by Williams College and University of Florida.

A new book on Motul de San José, edited by project directors Antonia E. Foias and Kitty Emery and published by the University Press of Florida, is the subject of a new review by our occasional contributing writer Nicoletta Maestri. Nicoletta found the 2012 book a "much-needed example of complete archaeological study from which a richly textured history of an ancient community can be understood".
