Description

Explore how the ancient Maya adapted to tropical forest environments through groundbreaking archaeological research on Albion Island in Northern Belize. This scholarly work examines the pivotal debate surrounding Maya agricultural practices and settlement patterns, investigating whether intensive farming methods sustained the region's surprisingly high population densities. Drawing on cultural ecological perspectives and archaeological field investigations, the book addresses fundamental questions about swidden cultivation's capacity to support complex Maya civilisation. Archaeologist Dennis E. Puleston's research in the Maya Lowlands challenges previous assumptions and reveals the sophisticated agricultural innovations that enabled one of history's most remarkable prehistoric societies to flourish in a demanding tropical environment. Essential reading for anthropology students, archaeology researchers, and anyone interested in understanding how ancient civilisations engineered sustainable food production systems.
