Marco Gonzales
The Marco Gonzalez Maya Site is located near the southern tip of
Ambergris Caye. It was first recorded archaeologically in 1984 by Dr.
Elizabeth Graham and Dr. David M. Pendergast, and was named by them after
their local guide. However, the existence of the site had been known to
San Pedranos for many years before that, as had most of the many other
sites that are present on the caye. The site is approximately 8 km south
of San Pedro Town, and is surrounded by dense jungle. Access to the site
from the windward beach side was relatively easy, along cut trails, while
the site was being excavated by Drs. Graham and Pendergast from 1984 to
about 1994. Now, however, the trails are overgrown and visits to the site
are difficult, especially during and immediately after the rainy seasons.
