With the Czar's abdication and the onset of the Russian Revolution, the Proskouriakoffs' brief visit became a relocation. Proskouriakoff excelled in art and completed a degree in architecture. She entered the field of Mesoamerican archaeology in the mid-1930s as a draftsperson and artist for a University of Pennsylvania archaeological project in the Pet�n rainforest of Guatemala.
