Camera Reviews Search for Home Adventures Australia-Pacific Source: Away.com Between 1500 and 900 B.C. the Maya people flourished in Central America, constructing reservoirs and elaborate temples, cultivating farmlands, and creating a written language, astronomical charts, and a calendar system. At its peak, the society is estimated to have numbered around 5 million people, populating more cities than ancient Egypt. However, modern archaeologists can only speculate about what led to the demise of this society around 900 B.C. Evidence of their empire covers most of Central America, but one of the best places to delve into the mysteries of the Mayas is the English-speaking tropical paradise of Belize. The vast wealth of Maya treasures in Belize is continually expanding. New artifacts are discovered almost daily, and it's not uncommon for locals to have unexplored ruins in their own backyards. Some sites, like Lamanai and Altun Ha, are more accessible; others require considerable effort to reach, but will reward you with staggering glimpses of a civilization all but lost, save the enduring physical trace of its empire. If you opt for the less-beaten path while exploring Maya Belize, be sure to spec out the route conditions, dress for dense jungle trekking, bring lots of water, and equip yourself with a good map or an experienced guide.

Extractions: Bio Summary Dr. Callaghan is an Associate Professor in the Departments of Geography, Anthropology, and Archeology, specializing in neotropical human ecology. His PhD dissertation (1990) examined the possible mainland origins of the earliest cultures of the Greater Antilles using simulation studies and direct experimentation with aboriginal watercraft. He has participated in field work in the French West Indies and Central America. The Central American work was concerned with pre-Mayan archaeology which some researchers believe to be related to the earliest cultural material in the Greater Antilles. Additional season of independent fieldwork were conducted in Central America gathering data pertaining to aboriginal watercraft and engaging in ethnoarchaeology, relating to the peopling of the Caribbean Islands in Venezuela.

Caribbean Information Perhaps the main Website for caribbean material is the Latin america Network Data Network for South america, central america, and the caribbean. http://www.uwichill.edu.bb/bnccde/info.htm
Extractions: This page is an attempt to gather material on the Caribbean that may be of use to researchers, scholars or students. Since ALL links here are maintained by other persons, we will not put asterisks after them as we do on our other pages. Perhaps the main Website for Caribbean material is the Latin America Network Information Center (LANIC) at the University of Texas. A notable site is the Virtual Institute of Caribbean Studies , based in New Jersey. It has the potential to become a repository of papers on various aspects of the Caribbean (I am not listing them in the section on papers below since they may not remain on this site for long). It also runs a newsletter and maintains a good list of links. There is a moderated network and discussion list on Caribbean Studies coming out of Michigan State University.
