culture of the Maya ancestors of the indigenous peoples of Central America. They have inspired generations of
archaeologists, professional and avocational, to take to the field in search of the past.
  
  One such
archaeologist is Heather McKillop, who in 1979 first visited the coast of Belize in search of a little-known aspect of

then she has returned many times to excavate sites that reveal the scope and diversity of the trade that passed by water
throughout the Maya world.
