Ceramic Technological Trends in the Three Rivers Region: A Late Classic Maya Overview

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Ancient Maya Landscapes in Northwestern Belize, Part I" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

It is now well recognized that Late Classic Maya communities were highly variable politically, economically, and environmentally. Researchers often assume that community and household variation are corollary with the broader political climate— and this remains under problematized. Thus, research that explores differences in household provisioning practices across communities is needed to rectify this situation. The incorporation of a broad, multi-community comparative data-set will facilitate a greater understanding of the sociopolitical dynamicity on multiple social and economic levels within the study area of the Three Rivers Region in Northwestern Belize. This paper will focus on ceramic distribution patterns and technological programs (including production) from sites in the Three Rivers Region, specifically from the Programme for Belize property.
