Abstract Details

2016, MA, University of Cincinnati, Arts and Sciences: Anthropology.
The 2015 field season at Say Kah, Belize allowed an opportunity for a research question to be answered, is Say Kah a distinct community within the La Milpa influence sphere? The inclusion of newly available technology such as dual-band GPS, remote sensed data, and mapping software and well tested survey methods facilitated a survey and mapping project between Say Kah and La Milpa South. This study was completed cheaper and faster than similar survey work done in the region. The data collected allowed the relationship between Say Kah and La Milpa South to be studied as well as add context to Say Kah’s higher level of status in the La Milpa influence sphere. This new technology has been proven effective in a dense jungle canopy and has implications for the future of survey and mapping projects in the three rivers region.
