While many were employed for shelter, some became ritual sites. Revitalized interest in caves in Mesoamerica combines archaeology, ethnography, ethnohistory, epigraphy, and osteology. The current, gen- eral anthropological study of caves offers exceptional insights into early Mesoamerican customs, ceremonies, and beliefs, and indicates that caves played a significant role in religion. The evidence suggests that some caves were perceived as vital aspects of a sacred landscape and connec- tions to the supernatural underworld. Continuity of indigenous ritual practices associated with caves remains to the present. Keywords: Archaeology, caves, ethnography, ethnohistory, Mesoamerica, religion PAUL F. HEALY is Professor of Anthropology at Trent University. His area focus includes Mesoamerica, the Isthmo-Colombian (Intermediate) area, and the Caribbean.

    THESE TOURS ARE FROM OUR LAST TRIP TO BELIZE Prices and info may change for 2020 TOUR SIGN-UPS: Please sign up in advance for the tours as it’s the only way we can organize our large group. Here are the tour write-ups. CAVES BRANCH RIVER TUBING This is one of the most fun and unusual tours you will ever take. Everybody has thoroughly loved this experience every time. It’s a tour not to be missed. Enter an exciting realm where rivers disappear into the underworld as you float on inner tubes with only your headlamp to lead the way. Ian Anderson’s first and still Belize’s longest and most spectacular “River of Caves” cave tubing float is over 7 miles underground. Enter the exciting world of rivers disappearing into the underworld as you float on inner tubes with only your headlamp to light your way. Floating past side windows that filter the jungle light through the mist as you swirl around stalagmites jutting from the river and stalactites looming from above. Float past underground waterfalls then into the crystal cathedral, a spiritual center to the ancient Maya. See http://www.cavesbranch.com/belize-cave-tubing for full description and photos. COST: $120 with transportation and taxes – a 20% discount! Actun Tunichil Muknal The Ultimate Jungle and Cave Adventure! I am highly recommending the Actun Tunichil Muknal tour. Also known simple as ATM Cave. This is like Indiana Jones and starts off with a little swim at the entrance to the cave and then amazing pottery and even skeleton remains which is crystallized on the cave’s floor.
