Description

Explore the complex relationship between the ancient Maya civilization and their tropical forest environment. This academic work by archaeologist Dennis E. Puleston investigates how these prehistoric societies adapted to the Maya Lowlands through specific agricultural methods. As research shifted in the post-World War II period, new questions emerged regarding how swidden cultivation could support high population densities. This book addresses the debate over whether the ancient Maya utilized intensive agriculture to sustain their communities. Through excavations on Albion Island in Northern Belize, the text examines the cultural ecological perspective of the region. This publication provides a detailed look at settlement patterns and the environmental strategies used by the Maya. It is an essential resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the history of prehistoric agricultural adaptations in tropical ecosystems.
