John Nelson, a 1969 graduate of Hillcrest High School, was a member of the expedition. El Mirador could be the largest and earliest city in the New World according to Or. Ray Matheny, professor of archaeology and anthropology. The team collected 20 whole ceramic vessels and nearly 21,000 shards (pieces of ceramic pots). Some of the vessels date back in stylistic comparison to the Middle period (about 500 B.C.). Most of the pieces date from 300 B.C. to 100 A.D. when the majority of the huge public building complexes were constructed at El Mirador. "It may take 10 years to excavate the many complexes in the area," Dr. Matheny stated. The future of the project on depends adequate funding. Finding El Mirador in the hundreds of miles of dense jungle is no easy task.
