	What Do We Know about Lamanai?
		This temple continued to be renewed through the end of the Classic Period and in the Postclassic Period, until at least A.D. 1200, and its use may have continued as late as the 15th century.
		The Lamanai Temple Type is exemplified by the middle construction stages of N10-9, as well as by Late Classic modifications to N10-43, to other buildings in the N10-43 plaza group, and in some measure by changes to N9-56.
		There is, in fact, very good evidence that the people of Lamanai exerted one of their greater efforts in construction in the eleventh century, with a huge transformation of the "Ottawa" group that occupied several centuries and may have involved the amassing of more than 20,000 metric tonnes of building material.

		Immediately outside of this ritual center were the structures of lesser nobles, smaller temples, and individual shrines: the less sacred and less important structures had a greater degree of privacy.
		Beneath the proud temples sat the pyramids that were, ultimately, a series of platforms split by steep stairs that would allow access to the temple.
		Round temples, often dedicated to Kukulcan, are perhaps those most often described as "observatories" by modern ruin tour-guides, but there is no evidence that they were so used exclusively, and temple pyramids of other shapes may well have been used for observation as well.

	The Crocodile Chronicles: From the Ovens of Orange Walk to the High Temple of Lamanai
		During the tour, I learned that Lamanai had the longest known occupation of the Maya era, beginning in 1500 BC and thriving up until the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th-century.
		But Lamanai's high temple is the tallest known Pre-Classic structure, and construction of it began in 100 BC, long before its Classic and Late Classic neighbors to the west.
		To stand atop this temple is to experience the haunting eloquence and obvious dignity commanded by a Maya site—much like witnessing the powerful grace of a silently submerging crocodile.

	Beyond Touring - Lamanai, Belize - Structure N10-43, High Temple
		This temple has two major architectural phases that were identified by D. Pendergast and were found to date from 100 BC to AD 600.
		This being the case some theorize that since Lamanai was stable during a fairly early time it allowed them to survive the Classic period collapse, and boast over 3,000 years of occupation.
		Claude Belanger was in charge of the Lamanai work and he also assisted with work at Caracol, and Altun Ha.

		Once social stratification was evident during Classic period we see elaborate burials and tombs placed along the primary axis.
		Individuals placed in these tombs typically are members of the elite ruling class but sometimes include skilled craft persons and high priests.
		Above illustration is from S. Loten and D. Pendergast's, A Lexicon of Maya Architecture – depicted is the primary and transverse axes – the ceremonial flint (LA1426) from Structure N10-7, recovered along the transverse axis – it is an anthropomorphic chert figure that was most likely placed in an architectural dedicatory cache
