The first Slovak archaeological excavations in the geographic area of Mesoamerica were conducted in 2009 and 2010. Headed by prof. M. Kováč, excavations were organized by the Slovak Archaeological and Historical Institute. H ere we present a brief summary of the results and basic information about the first two seasons in the Mayan city of Uaxactun focusing on the application of various methods in archaeology, borrowed from the natural sciences. This is a preliminary report as further exploration of the site is in progress. Particularly important results are the identification of volcanic ash used as temper in Maya ceramics and identification of the optimal method for the geophysical survey. We expect interesting results by palynology and archaeobotany.
