MaritimeMaya2011: The Costa Escondida Project: Exploring the Hidden World of the Maritime Maya on the Yucatan Peninsula between 20110509 and 20110531
The northeast tip of the Yucatan Peninsula is a largely
unexplored coastline where ancient Maya traders traveled in massive dugout
canoes filled with goods from across Mesoamerica. Along this coastline lies the
ancient port site of Vista Alegre. The ancient Maya survived and thrived here
despite an extraordinarily complex and harsh coastal environment by employing
highly specialized subsistence strategies involving perennial access to
freshwater, exploitation of marine resources, and cultivation of nich plant
species. By bringing together scholars from the fields of archaeology, coastal
ecology, geoarchaeology, and hydrogeology, the Costa Escondida Project will
explore adaptive subsistence strategies at the human-coastal
interface.
