K'axob
K’axob was occupied from about 800 B.C. to A.D. 900.〔(McAnany 2004 )〕 The site is located in northern Belize in the wetlands of Pulltrouser Swamp in proximity to the Sibun River Valley in central Belize.〔 Research has shown that K’axob was occupied from the Late Preclassic Period to the Early Postclassic Period.〔McAnany and Varela 1999〕 This period in time and the site is characterized by specific ceramic types as well as agriculture and an increase in social stratification. K’axob is a village site centered on two pyramid plazas and later grew in size during the Early Classic Period to the Late Classic Period.〔 The site includes a number of household, mounds and plazas. K’axob is mostly based on residential and household living but also has some ritualistic aspects. Many of the structures at the site show evidence of household dwellings as well as ritual purposes.〔 There are many burials at the site that illustrate the ritualistic aspects and social stratification at K’axob.〔 Many of the individuals, some more than others, were interned with beads made of shell as well as ceramic vessels, demonstrating this potential social stratification.〔 The pottery vessels recovered from the site demonstrates regularity in the production of pottery. The most prominent type of ceramic vessels recovered from the site were ‘serving bowls,’ with a tripodal base, and were present during the Early Classic Period.〔(http://www.bu.edu/tricia/kaxob/classic.shtml McAnany 2004〕 There is also evidence of specialized areas for pottery production.〔 There are middens at the site that yielded a great deal of pottery sherds and are associated with structures that are believed to be kilns as well as with tools similar to modern pottery making tools.〔 There is also some evidence of stone tool production at the site.〔 The most common stone tool recovered from the site is a chert oval biface and is associated with agriculture and thought to have been used for weeding and hoeing.〔
==Past and Current Archaeological Research at K’axob==
K’axob was first excavated in 1979 and 1981 by B. L. Turner and Peter D. Harrison. The excavations were then taken over by Patricia A. McAnany in 1981, who is currently a professor at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. The bulk of the research at the site was conducted from 1990-1998 and focused on social stratification, household structures and agriculture at K’axob.〔 Research at the site is ongoing through Boston University and is funded by The National Science Foundation.〔 Patricia A. McAnany continues to the primary investigator, with aid from graduate and undergraduate students and in collaboration with other universities and the Belize government.〔 Analysis is conducted both at the field lab at the site in Belize as well as at central lab at Boston University.〔
