Abstract

The project represented the third season of reconnaissance works in an archaeologically little known region of central Maya Lowlands. Among the newly recorded sites, mainly pertaining to the Classic period, there are four major centers with large architectural complexes, and several caves with vestiges of ritual activities. The location and basic characteristics of the sites were registered and some surface pottery was collected. Urban cores of three major sites were mapped with a total station. A number of sculpted monuments were also found, including three stelae with well-preserved reliefs and hieroglyphic inscriptions, which contain important data on regional political history.
