Recent Advances in the Archaeology of the Three Rivers Region of the Central Maya Lowlands
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 81st Annual Meeting, Orlando, FL (2016)
The Three Rivers Region of the Central Maya Lowlands includes the northeastern portion of the Department of Peten, Guatemala and the adjoining northwestern portion of Belize. It is defined as the area within the Rio Azul, Rio Bravo and Booth’s River which converge to form the Rio Hondo. The area includes such well known sites as Rio Azul, Kinal, La Milpa and Blue Creek. The region has been intensively investigated by a number of researchers since being defined more than two decades ago. This poster session attempts to bring together a cross-section of the most recent work.
