Late Classic Maya Commoner Myth, Ritual, and Landscape at Chawak But’o’ob, Belize.
Author(s): Stanley Walling
Year: 2018
Summary
Recent research at the ball court complex and other areas of the ancient hinterland community of Chawak But’o’ob in the Rio Bravo Conservation and Management Area in northwestern Belize indicates the existence of a sophisticated interplay of environment and ideology at this agrarian site. The intersection of landscape, hydrology, and architecture here hints at mythological underpinnings of Maya commoner ritual that only partially overlap those in evidence in ancient urban contexts.
