| Research Abstract |
We carried out archaeological investigations on the rise and fall of Maya civilization by means of stratigraphic excavations and artifact analysis from Ceibal, Guatemala. Our excavations documented the growth of a formal ceremonial space into a plaza-pyramid complex beginning around 1000 BC that predated comparable buildings at other lowland Maya sites and major occupations at the Olmec center of La Venta. The development of lowland Maya civilization did not result from one-directional influence from La Venta, but from interregional interactions, involving groups in the southwestern Maya lowlands, Chiapas, the Pacific Coast, and the southern Gulf Coast.
