From the Coast to the Jungle: Inventory and Record of Archaeological Sites in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico

Summary

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The municipality of Puerto Morelos is located in northern Quintana Roo, Mexico. Beginning in the past century, and continuing through present day, researches have reported numerous archaeological sites in this region. However, many of them do not have a precise location, and we do not know about their conservation status. As a result of this issue and the large growth of modern infrastructure in the area, I created the "Proyecto de Inventario y Registro de Sitios Arqueológicos en el Municipio de Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo" (Inventory and Record of the Archaeological Sites in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo Project), which seeks to update information for archaeological sites in the Puerto Morelos region. My main goals include: gaining information on the actual condition of the sites and gaining knowledge about cultural processes of the area.
