537:, for example) recovered help create a clearer picture of Mayan raised field agriculture in Pulltrouser. Maize was recovered in the form of pollen as well as a carbonized stalk found in one of the platforms. It is possible that this could be evidence of maize as agricultural crop or it could have been from mulch to aid the growth of other crops. Gosypium pollen was also recovered, which may represent either domesticated cotton or a wild population. The presence of water lily phytoliths suggests that there was permanent water in the canals during construction and/or use of the fields. It has been suggested that these water lilies may have been used as mulch, as modern day experiments show that water lily mulch is effective in retaining moisture, providing nutrients and other benefits. Unfortunately not enough organic material was recovered to conclusively show which crops or plants the Maya were using Pulltrouser Swamp for. 967: 495:
tree pollen and an increase in charcoal. This is evidence for a rapid and extensive expansion of agriculture with maize as an important crop. Further charcoal indicates that agriculture was expanded in the area between 1500 and 1300 B.C. and squash and bottle gourd were cultivated as well as maize. Evidence of what was originally thought to be canals at the site were found to be natural hummocks with no evidence of excavation. Pohl et al. (1996) suggest that the adoption of wetland agriculture was not a response to increases in population growth that created the need for more resources but instead a reaction to the changes in groundwater levels they believe to have occurred around 1500–1300 B.C.
388: 213: 595:). The tools found at the site were mostly for agricultural use or manufacturing agricultural products. There is little evidence that any of the tools were manufactured at the site. The types of tools found consisted of oval bifaces, tranchet bits, celts, picks, beveled bits, blades, and hammer stones. The majority of the tools are made from chert with some of chalcedony, cherty-limestone and obsidian. The oval bifaces are made from chert sourced near the site of 40: 33: 599:; these tools have wear consistent with agricultural work and were most likely used as hoes. The tranchet bits arrived fully formed at Pulltrouser, although there is evidence of retouching at the site. There are also blades made of chalcedony, stemmed knives and battered tools, sixteen of them made from chalcedony and two of cherty-limestone. Obsidian tools were mostly prismatic blades that were made from abraded surfaces and were sourced from 507:
suggested that these fields were in use from 400 BC-600AD, however this date could be biased due to repositioning of artifacts during the shifting of material in construction. The Pulltrouser swamp sites are often used as representative of this agricultural type in interpretations of the use of raised-field agriculture in Maya culture. The investigations at the site have involved both coring and excavations.

hillsides and slopes for the raised fields. The people of Pulltrouser built their small living structures on terraces 2–3 meters above the swamp. There was also a hard platform composed of hard limestone and plaster built within the housing structure area. Within the settlement areas there was evidence of both ceramic and stone artifact production and use.

different species and their uses include: Melongena melongena, used as a major food source. Pachychilus, used as a supplementary food source. The shells were a source of powdered lime used when cooking maize. Strombus gigas, used as a major food source. Larger shells were used for hoes as well as worked into ornaments or utensils.

Located north of Orange Walk in Belize is a Y-shaped settlement that makes up a series of complex elongated depressions. In Pulltrouser there were three different immediate settlements that surrounded the swamp equalling 8.5 km. In these settlements the key to organization was the utilization of

People likely settled around swamps because of the rich faunal, plant, soil and water resources this environment made available. Maize appears at the site around 890 cal BP. Pollen records show mass forest disturbance around 2500 B.C., this coincides with the appearance of maize pollen, a decline in

There are two distinct ground patterns observed in Pulltrouser: "quadrilateral shapes in paired rows and quadrilateral to amorphous shapes in sectional or group patterns". There are approximately 311ha of well-defined patterns located along the mainland edge, which have been measured to be 1m above

The botan and escoba forest have been expanded as a result of the construction of fields and canals. Logging that has taken place over the last three hundred years has also altered the landscape and vegetation of the depression. The saw grass zone occurs at the center surrounded by the escoba then

During construction of the canals and raised field system, it is believed Pulltrouser was simply a wet, non-forested area containing large amounts of water lilies. However, raised fields were constructed in marshlike environments since they are easier to channelize to construct raised fields.

At the excavated sites within Pulltrouser Swamp there are many different species of mollusc shell types found. There were also many different uses; the most prominent shells being mixed terrestrial gastropods that were used in construction materials as fill in the raised fields. Some of the
