Keywords

Abstract

Faunal analysis can give clues to the quality of life for the elite and the general population. Many studies have discussed how a general Maya diet was affected by population pressure, but few have looked directly at the archaeological dietary remains. This paper looks at the adaptive responses to the increasing requirements for animal resources at Caracol, Belize, such as importation of animal producis, specialization of animal use strategies, and animal management.
