Abstract

The southern Yucatán peninsular region lies within the upland terrain of southern Campeche and Quintana Roo, Mexico, and abuts northern Petén, Guatemala, and northwestern Belize (Figure 20.1). In regard to ancient Maya occupancy, it corresponds to the “central Maya lowlands,” defined by Turner (1983:7-9; 1990a), and to the central hills and Petén karst plateau of the lowland Maya “adaptive” regions, defined by Dunning and Beach (2000:182).
