| description | <p class="first" id="d9468275e142">Marco Gonzalez is one of a number of Maya sites on Belize’s coast and cayes (coral
islands) that exhibit anomalous vegetation and dark-coloured soils. Like Amazonian
Dark Earths (ADEs), the soils are sought locally for cultivation and are underlain
by anthropogenic deposits. Our research is aimed at assessing the role of the anthropogenic
deposits in soil formation processes with a view to developing strategies to quantify
the long-term environmental impact of human activities today.
