Summary

A decade-long archaeological survey (1996–2006) of the B'aakal region in Chiapas, Mexico, revealed significant insights into the pre-Hispanic urban and environmental landscape surrounding Palenque. The study documented previously unknown structures, settlement patterns, and ecological interactions through extensive fieldwork, mapping, and a detailed gazetteer of sites. Appendices on regional flora and fauna further enriched the understanding of this UNESCO World Heritage Site's biodiversity. This comprehensive approach combined remote sensing, surface surveys, and excavation to reconstruct the region's complex history, bridging gaps in our knowledge of Maya urbanism and environmental adaptation.
