Among Mesoamericanists, the agricultural basis of the ancient Maya civilization of the Yucatan Peninsula has been an important topic of research-and controversy-in recent years. Interest in the agricultural system of the Maya has greatly increased as new discoveries have shown that the lowland Maya were not limited to slash-and-burn technology, as had been previously believed, but used a variety of more sophisticated agricultural techniques and practices, including terracing, raised fields, and perhaps, irrigation. Because of the nature of the data and because this form of agricultural technology has been key to explanations of state formation elsewhere in Mesoamerica, raised-filed agriculture has become a particular focus of investigation. Pulltrouser Swamp conclusively demonstrates the existence of hydraulic, raised-field agriculture in the Maya lowlands between 150 BC and AD 850. It presents the findings of the University of Oklahoma' Pulltrouser Swamp Project, an NSF-supported interdisciplinary study that has combined the talents of archaeologists, anthropologists, geographers, paleobotanists, biologists and zoologists to investigate the remains of the Maya agricultural system in the swamp region of northern Belize.
