Abstract
Five residential mounds were investigated at Operation 11, Medicinal Trail site in Northwestern Belize with the purpose of better understanding the production and consumption activities of a single ancient household along with residential structure function. Numerous methodologies were employed to adequately address these topics such as ethnographic analogy and archaeological comparison. The results of this research show that the ancient residents of Operation 11 were most likely practicing agrarian production as their primary economic production activity. This interpretation is based on negative evidence for other economic activities. The general function of the structures at Operation 11 was shown through ethnographic analogy and archaeological comparison to be residential.
