Dr. Joseph W. Ball's Cahal Pech, the Ancient Maya, and Modern Belize: The Story of an Archaeological Park (University Research Lecture, #9) is a dynamic hardcover research volume documenting field work at the archaeological excavations in the Cahal Pech site, in Belize as part of the SDSU Mopan-Macal Triangle Archaeological Project that began in 1988. From Wikipedia: "Cahal Pech is a Maya site located near the town of San Ignacio in the Cayo District of Belize. The site was a palatial, hilltop home for an elite Maya family, and though most major construction dates to the Classic period, evidence of continuous habitation has been dated to as far back as 1200 BCE during the Early Middle Formative period (Early Middle Preclassic), making Cahal Pech one of the oldest recognizably Maya sites in Western Belize."
