Description
A highly detailed analysis of stone tools recovered from excavations at two sites at the coral island of Ambergris Caye, off the coast of Belize, which discovered evidence of continued occupation at the island from c.100 BC until well into the Historic period. The take a look at of the wear and tear of tools provides a transparent picture of the ways during which the Maya exploited the island’s natural resources, notably fish, shell, coral and salt, even as comparison of the sites shows the extent of interaction between communities. Sections present a device typology and speak about lithic technology, raw materials and the archaeological context and distribution of the assemblages.
