	The Belize Virtual Guide - Lamanai - Mayan Ruins Tour
		Lamanai then, encompasses all of Belize's major phases of occupation from the Mayan Civilization to the present.

		Lamanai was first visited by archaeologists in 1917, but serious excavation and preservation did not occur till the Royal Ontario Museum began a long term project in 1974.

		Lamanai also profited from intense immigration from the fringes of nearby cities that were undergoing gradual abandonment.

		Lamanai is also a botanical and wildlife reserve and showcases many native exotic birds and plants used for medicinal and commercial purposes.

	Lamanai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lamanai ("Submerged Crocodile" in the Maya language) was once a considerably sized city of the Maya civilization, located in the north of Belize, in Orange Walk District.

	What Do We Know about Lamanai?
		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.
		In the chaos that surrounded Lamanai from about A.D. 875 onward, the centuries of the Early Postclassic are quite likely to have been a time in which the community saw immigration of people from the fringes of nearby centres that were undergoing gradual abandonment.
		The picture of Lamanai in the Terminal Classic and Early Postclassic seemed at first to be of an island of relative calm in a sea of chaos.

	Where is Lamanai?
		Lamanai is spread out along the west bank of the New River Lagoon at a point where the New River flows from the lagoon on its 80-mile journey -- about 40 miles as the crow flies -- north to Chetumal Bay and the Caribbean.
		The New River, known to the Maya as Dzuluinicob ("foreign men") was one of the arteries used by the conquering Spaniards and missionizing friars as they attempted to penetrate the forests of the Maya lowlands.
		The name "Lamanai," in fact, appears in 16th and 17th century documents as a Spanish rendering of a Maya name, which we think was originally Laman'ayin ("submerged crocodile").

	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.
		Lamanai's longevity, Antonio noted, is best explained by its advantageous location on an inland waterway with access to maritime trade.
		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.

	Lamanai Outpost Lodge, Belize - Archaeology - Virtual Tour
		The settlement pattern of Lamanai is rather unusual, in that Lamanai's eight major plazas and other groups of ceremonial structures are arranged linearly along the banks of the New River Lagoon.
		Lamanai survived the decline that afflicted most of the southern lowland sites in the 9th century, and came through this collapse with most of its political and social structure intact.

		Excavated by David M. Pendergast of the Royal Ontario Museum during a series of field seasons beginning in 1974, its 718 mapped structures lie stretched out along the shore of the lagoon.
		Much of Lamanai's importance is reflected in the large, imposing Late Pre-Classic temple-pyramids which usually underlie Early Classic constructions.

		This temple, according to David Pendergast, continued to be renewed through the end of the Classic Period and late into the Postclassic, until at least A.D. 1200—and its use may have continued as late as the fifteenth century.
		In fact, one of the most remarkable things about Lamanai was its ability to survive and prosper late into the Post Classic, while its neighboring states were suffering decay and decline culminating in final collapse.
		Pendergast writes that this was the first evidence recovered at Lamanai for what is now recognized as an architectural form characteristic of the site.
