Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 March 2021
Abstract
Recent excavations at the site of Gallon Jug, a minor center in northwestern Belize, revealed multiple patolli boards incised into a well-preserved plaster floor in an unvaulted platform. A significant artifact deposit was placed directly on top of the patolli boards. In this report we describe the architectural context, associated artifact deposit, and the patolli boards themselves.
Excavaciones recientes en el sítio de Gallon Jug, un centro menor ubicado en el noroeste de Belice, revelaron varios tableros de patolli, incisos en un piso de estuco bien preservado en una plataforma no abovedada. Se encontró un importante depósito de artefactos situado inmediatamente encima de los tableros de patolli. En este informe, describimos el contexto arquitectónico, el depósito de artefactos asociados y los tableros de patolli en sí.
