Overview

This research shows resilient landscape modifications and strategies for environmental change in preceramic Archaic Maya populations, highlighting their adaptive approaches.

Key Points

  • Archaic Maya populations modified landscapes sustainably to adapt to environmental changes.
  • New evidence shows intensive engagement with marginal landscapes for food resources, targeting conditions from 4200 BP.
  • Research from the Belize River East Archaeology project reveals large-scale fish trapping by hunter-gatherer-fisher groups.
  • The findings highlight the adaptive techniques of Archaic Maya in response to climatic changes over centuries.
