The mesa tops are rich with hundreds of archaeological sites. Some sites consist of 300 plus rooms right on the edge of the mesa top. The culture(s) that occupied Perry Mesa are still unknown, and it seems the mesa tops were abandoned by 1450. While occupation was short lived, the density of sites reveals populations reached a very high number. Early pot hunters report finding mass burials where bodies were stacked on top of each other. Did a local disease sweep through? More professional archaeology needs to be conducted inside Perry Mesa in order for these questions to be answered. In this video we discuss the Perry Mesa culture, look and an original ceramic pot, and reproduce a Perry Mesa style jar. Enjoy!

For more information on membership email: Jeff@PrimitiveLifeways.com Dr Jaime Awe is one of the leading voices in Mayan civilizations. During investigations of Actun Tunichil Muknal, Jaime's Western Belize Regional Cave Project recorded the skeletal remains of several children. Although the remains provided limited evidence of violent trauma, Jaime concluded that the children’s remains represented those of sacrificial victims. While this interpretation has been questioned by some colleagues, Jaime argues there is considerable archaeological, iconographic, and ethnohistoric evidence that child sacrifice, particularly in association with rain ceremonies, was a tradition of considerable antiquity in Mesoamerica. Jaime further suggests that the practice of child sacrifice became especially prevalent during the Terminal Classic period, at a time when the lowland Maya were experiencing severe environmental stress, and when their civilization was in the process of decline. </video> <video> Making Chief Geronimo's Last Bow!
