		Belize clearly lay in the Maya heartland: not only are some of the earliest sites, like that of Cuello in Orange Walk, found in the country, but the recent discovery of glyphs at Caracol, Cayo District, apparently portraying a military victory over Tikal suggests that some of the Belizean centres were supreme in the region.

	CONTAMINATION ASSESSMENT IN THE BELIZE NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL WATER QUALITY MONITORING PROGRAM
		Using these scores based on broad attributes of Belize catchments, there was a considerable range of risk from very low scores of 4-6, which signify hardly modified catchments, to a high of 18, which signifies relatively extensive land-use and environmental pressures that already or could in the future lead to water quality impacts.
		Given the relatively large size of the Rio Hondo catchment and that much of the land-use in the larger Mexican and Guatemalan portion of the basin is unknown, it was also considered a likely key source of contaminants, even though it had a moderate risk score.
		With regard to laboratory options, Belize had a relatively broad range of analytical capability at the time of the study, although much of it was sub-utilized and some of it required improved maintenance and care.
