Ancient Maya Landscapes in Northwestern Belize, Part I
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 84th Annual Meeting, Albuquerque, NM (2019)
This collection contains the abstracts of the papers presented in the session entitled "Ancient Maya Landscapes in Northwestern Belize, Part I," at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
The last 30 years in northwestern Belize have been marked by intensive multi-disciplinary research involving dozens of institutions and investigators. We now recognize that the Anthropocene of the Classic Maya included modification of every part of the landscapes to fit the needs of its builders. This symposium broadly focuses on landscapes but incorporates temporal dynamics, settlement systems, lowland agricultural systems, upland residential systems as well as geopolitical dynamics. Investigators with both the Programme for Belize Archaeological Project and the Blue Creek Archaeological Project report on recent research, new insights and maturing understanding by both teams.
