The Preclassic Settlement of Northwest Yucatan
View through CrossRef
This chapter focuses on presenting data and interpretations resulting from three recent archaeology projects carried out in the northwest corner of Yucatan, Mexico. The surveys identified a total of 140 sites with Preclassic occupations indicating a burgeoning degree of cultural complexity by the Middle Preclassic. These sites formed a three-tiered regional hierarchy which persisted until the beginning of the Late Preclassic period. Perhaps the most unexpected feature at these sites was the presence of 23 examples of ballcourt architecture dating to the Middle Preclassic period.
