Recent Excavations in the ‘Ottawa’ Plaza N10[3] Palace Group at Lamanai

Summary

Individual structures of the ‘Ottawa’ Plaza N10[3] Palace Group at Lamanai have been the focus of excavation at various times since Pendergast’s first investigations there in 1981. The time of inception of construction remains unknown, but the group is notable in that its structures were altered, added to, and occupied into the Early Postclassic period. Recent excavations of Str. N10-15 have yielded information on a flurry of activity in the Late and Terminal Classic. Results will be discussed in terms of what we are learning about the kinds of adjustments, adaptations, and changes that occurred at Lamanai from the Classic to the Postclassic period.
