Having fled the violence of the Caste War in Mexico (1847−1901), the San Pedro Maya occupied nearly two dozen small villages in the forests of western British Honduras and the northeastern Peten from the 1850s to the 1930s. With no physically demarcated borders between British Honduras and its neighbors present prior to the late 1880s, archival and archaeological data demonstrate that the San Pedro Maya moved freely through the lightly populated forests of the area. Ultimately, however, the San Pedro Maya's ambivalence toward the border between British Honduras and Guatemala provided the Belize Estate and Produce Company (BEC) with an excuse to evict them from their villages in the 1930s. In this article, we present archival information and archaeological data from Kaxil Uinic, a small San Pedro Maya village in British Honduras, to examine the following issues: the conflicting views of the border held by the San Pedro Maya and their colonial counterparts; the evidence for ties between Kaxil Uinic and Icaiche, Mexico; and the roles chicle smuggling and commercial logging had in the eviction of the San Pedro Maya from BEC lands.

英属洪都拉斯的“边界”和卡西尔尤尼克村的圣佩德罗玛雅

在逃离墨西哥种姓战争（1847-1901 年）的暴力之后，圣佩德罗玛雅人在 1850 年代至 1930 年代期间占领了英属洪都拉斯西部和佩滕东北部森林中的近两打小村庄。在 1880 年代后期之前，英属洪都拉斯与其邻国之间没有实际划定的边界，档案和考古数据表明，圣佩德罗玛雅人在该地区人口稀少的森林中自由移动。然而，最终，圣佩德罗玛雅人对英属洪都拉斯和危地马拉边界的矛盾心理为伯利兹地产和农产品公司 (BEC) 在 1930 年代将他们赶出村庄提供了借口。在本文中，我们介绍了来自英属洪都拉斯的圣佩德罗玛雅小村庄 Kaxil Uinic 的档案信息和考古数据，审查以下问题：圣佩德罗玛雅人和他们的殖民同行对边界的冲突看法；Kaxil Uinic 和墨西哥 Icaiche 之间关系的证据；以及在将圣佩德罗玛雅人从 BEC 土地上赶走的过程中，chicle 走私和商业伐木所起的作用。
