The discovery of cultural remains on or above the floors of rooms and courtyards at several Maya sites has been interpreted by some archaeologists as problematic deposits, squatter's refuse, as evidence for feasting, termination rituals,de factorefuse, or rapid abandonment as a result of warfare. Investigations by the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project have recorded similar deposits at several surface and subterranean sites in Western Belize. Our regional, contextual, and methodological approaches for studying these deposits, coupled with ethnohistoric and ethnographic information, provide limited support for the interpretation of these remains asde factorefuse or due to rapid abandonment. Instead, we argue that these deposits are more likely the result of peri-abandonment activities such as propitiation rituals and/or pilgrimages during and after the gradual abandonment of sites in the Belize River Valley.

应用区域、背景、民族历史和民族学方法来理解伯利兹西部废弃矿床的重要性

在几个玛雅遗址的房间和庭院的地板上或上面发现的文化遗迹被一些考古学家解释为有问题的沉积物、擅自占地者的垃圾,作为盛宴、终止仪式的证据,事实上拒绝,或因战争而迅速放弃。伯利兹谷考古侦察项目的调查在伯利兹西部的几个地表和地下地点记录了类似的沉积物。我们研究这些沉积物的区域、背景和方法论方法,再加上民族史和民族志信息,为将这些遗迹解释为有限的支持提供了有限的支持。事实上拒绝或由于迅速放弃。相反,我们认为这些沉积物更有可能是在伯利兹河谷遗址逐渐废弃期间和之后的周边废弃活动的结果,例如安抚仪式和/或朝圣。
