Marco Gonzalez
Marco Gonzalez is a Maya archaeological site located near the southern tip of Ambergris Caye off the coast of Belize. It was first recorded in 1984 by Drs. Elizabeth Graham and David Pendergast, and was named by them after their local guide.
The existence of the site, which is located approximately south of San Pedro, had been known to town's inhabitants for many years, as had most of the other sites that dot the island. The site was excavated by Drs. Graham and Pendergast between 1984 and 1994.
==Topography==
The ruins are about in size, and are easily visible from the air flying into San Pedro town. The low-lying area around the site is predominated by red (''Rhizophora mangle'') and black (''Avicennia nitida'') mangroves. The site itself is covered by white mangrove (''Laguncularia racemosa''), gumbo-limbo (''Bursera simaruba''), white poisonwood (''Cameraria belizensis''), silver palmettos (''Thrinax sp.''), cabbage palms (''Roystonea oleracea'') and a variety of shrubbery. It is roughly above sea level, slightly higher than the surrounding swamps due to accumulated anthrosol, soil composed primarily of artefacts (e.g., pottery, tools), conch and other shells, building remains and other debris resulting from millennia of human habitation. The presence of artefacts beneath the mangal swamps indicates that the site was once larger than what is now exposed.
Surrounded by thick jungle, access to the site is difficult, especially during and immediately after the rainy season. The trails leading there have become increasingly overgrown and visitors are rare.
