Description :
The AA. present a ca. 8500-yr pollen record from Lago Puerto Arturo in the northern Peten. They also present the results of sediment chemistry, organic content, and magnetic susceptibility analyses. Core chronology is based on 6 AMS radiocarbon determinations. The record helps clarify the history of Holocene vegetation change in the Mirador Basin, an important area of Maya settlement fro the Middle Preclassic through the Late Classic.
