Here be Dragons: Archaeology in North Central Belize.
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 80th Annual Meeting, San Francisco, CA (2015)
Starting in the 1970s with excavations at Altun Ha, and continuing into the 21st century with work at Lamanai, Ka'Kabish, Chau Hiix and sites in the Hillbank area, and other locations, North-Central Belize has been the focus of considerable archaeological work. This symposium is intended to highlight work done in this region of Belize. By bringing the work done by projects in this area together, along with research spanning the Middle Formative through to the Historic period, we hope to integrate the research produced by these projects into a larger regional discussion of Maya politics and society.
