Book Description:

The ancient Maya invested prodigious amounts of labour in the construction of road systems for communication and trade, yet recent discoveries surrounding Chetumal Bay reveal an extensive network of riverine and maritime waterways. Focusing on sites ringing the bay such as Cerro Maya, Oxtankah, and Santa Rita Corozal, this volume explores how the bay and its feeder rivers affected all aspects of Maya culture.
