Klappentext

The first set of essays presenting in-depth investigations of the narrow area known as the Northern Transversal Strip, situated between the pre-Columbian Maya highlands and lowlands in Guatemala. It showcases the fruits of a multidisciplinary, five-project collaboration among archaeologists, art historians, ethnohistorians, biologists, and paleoecologists that has been twenty-five years in the making.
