Ancient Maya Traders of Ambergris Caye
University of Alabama Press
A key illustrated guide to artifacts and other findings from archaeological excavations along the coastal areas of Belize. Starting with the canal location, archaeologists were able to reconstruct 19 settlements on Ambergris Caye. Their findings offer tantalizing clues about the nature of Maya coastal civilization and their extensive maritime trade network.
Our work on Ambergris Caye was aimed at better understanding the ancient trade system that linked the great Maya kingdoms of the mainland.’ —from the Preface
