ABOUT THIS BOOK
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.
