Nohmul, Belize: 1982 Investigations
Journal of Field Archaeology 10 (1983) 245--254 The large site of Nohmul in northern Belize has a long sequence of occupation spanning some two millennia. Half a century of sporadic excavation has shown it to be a center of regional importance from the Late Formative to the Early Postclassic. The present report outlines past and planned study of Nohmul, and describes the results of excavation and mapping in 1982. Principal discoveries in the ceremonial center date to the Terminal Formative/Early Classic and Terminal Classic/Early Postclassic periods, ca. 200--300 A.C. and ca. 800--1000 A.C. respectively.
