摘要

We joined forces as both sought to understand the Maya Forest landscape and both had connections to the archaeology of Belize. As an archeologist with a deep commitment to conservation and community development and as a community leader engaged in traditional agriculture and teaching with a worldly curiosity, we both share profound interest in humanity. Our worlds have revolved around each other over the decades as our common interests developed and took shape. Our eventual collaboration began with archeology and transformed into a model for celebrating local traditions and knowledge we call the “Maya forest gardens.” Our very different backgrounds provide a foundation for a complex and dynamic partnership around “Archaeology Under the Canopy” at the Maya city of El Pilar. This is a work in progress.
