资源简介：
The Late Preclassic to Classic period (400 B. C.-A.D. 900) Maya community of La Milpa, Belize, has recently revealed
an ancient water and land-use system. As demonstrated at other southern Maya Lowland sites, the Maya created a
microwatershed to store and convey water during the four months of seasonal drought. In addition to water conservation
measures associated with reservoirs, deliberate channelization, diversion weirs, and postulated fields,
the importance
of rainy-season erosion control is indicated. Given the ancient population densities identified in the Maya area, coupled
with the seasonal scarcity of water, we posit a "skill-oriented" economy
