The earliest communities in southern Belize were founded during
the 4th century AD, at a time of expansion of large urban states like Tikal
and the dispersion of numerous populations of agrarian Maya into vacant
areas. This talk will discuss the settlement and dynamic political
connections between the earliest known cities in the region.
