Abstract

In this chapter the known events and processes that led to the abandonment of the site of Blue Creek in northwestern Belize are examined. Blue Creek is viewed as a microcosm of the abandonment of the larger region. Population growth, pressure on agricultural systems, and rituals associated with abandonment, among other data, are considered.
