Lack of material evidence for Classic Period Maya (AD 250-800) agriculture has been identified as one of the key restricting factors in advancing our understanding of these practices. Thus, the evidence for cultivation from Cerén, El Salvador affords a remarkable opportunity to examine ancient Maya agriculture and to produce a more accurate reconstruction of this community’s subsistence system.
