Implications of the Marketplace at Maax Na, Belize
Within the last decade a new economic paradigm has emerged that emphasizes the variability in economic strategies the pre-Hispanic Maya employed. Among the most important developments is the discovery of marketplaces at several Classic Maya (250-900 CE) sites. Investigations into them and into market systems continue to fuel research, but invite broader consideration of what the presence of marketplaces might mean for regional systems of provisio…
Systematizing Public Education in Archaeology
Public education in archaeology today is at a crossroads. Over the last 30 years, it has grown exponentially and is now widely recognized as one of the most effective ways to preserve the past for the future. However, it remains a loose conglomeration of approaches lacking coherence and consistency. There is little discussion of the best practices to use in specific situations and little assessment of effectiveness. One result is that practitione…

Small Caves and Sacred Geography: A Case Study from the Prehispanic Maya Site of Maax Na, Belize
Contemporary research on prehispanic Maya landscapes has focused on caves as core features of the cultural geography. Investigations within a number of large caves have suggested that they served as the loci for important rituals, legitimized inhabitants' claims to their territory, and helped establish the authority of a site's ruling elite. The ubiquity and centrality of caves in the Maya worldview raises questions about what happened in regions…

A Heterarchical Approach to Lowland Maya Socioeconomies
Study of Maya economy has traditionally been dominated by hierarchical or vertical models, in which societal elites were thought to have had significant impact in the organization of production and exchange. We propose that evidence for strong elite regulation of lowland economy is lacking. Both inter-site and intra-site patterns better support the likelihood that many aspects of lowland economy were probably self-organized and not regulated by a…
