The Maya built one of the great ancient civilizations in the New
World, between AD 250 and 900. Famed for over 150 years for its
cities buried deep in the Central American jungle, the origins of
Maya culture have, nevertheless, remained obscure until quite
recently. Over the past two decades, the Preclassic origins of
complex society in the Maya area have been established by a series
of innovative research projects. Among the best known of these is
the study of Cuello, the earliest-known ancient Maya settlement.
Excavations at Cuello over several seasons from 1975 to 1987 have
yielded an unmatched picture of a pioneer tropical forest
community. In this volume the origins of Maya civilization 1500
years ago are documented with detailed evidence on the environment,
economy, buildings, crafts, ritual practices, burials and artistic
imagery.
