The lengthy occupation span of the Maya site of Lamanai, Belize, from the Preclassic (ca. 1600 BCE) through the Postclassic and into the Spanish colonial period (1500 - 1700 CE), coupled with extensive archaeological excavations, has resulted in the discovery of numerous pottery artifacts. This book includes a Foreword by David Pendergast, and presents the entire collection of technically illustrated pottery-over 940 illustrations of more than 800 vessels and pottery objects. A summary of the results of archaeological research over the past five decades introduces the site. An overview of Maya pottery forms and ceramic illustration conventions serve as the foundation for the visual and contextual data presented with the illustrations. A brief introduction to ceramic analysis is followed by an outline of the research at Lamanai that focused on pottery analysis, including peripheral studies incorporating pottery vessels and assemblages. Type-variety designations are also provided for the illustrated pottery.
