About the book

"Deep within the forest in northern Guatemala lie the ruins of Rio Azul, a Maya city that reached one-third the size of Tikal. Discovered and partially explored in the early 1960s, Rio Azul and the surrounding region were more fully investigated between 1983 and 1987 by an archaeological team led by Richard E. W. Adams. In this summary, Adams integrates the findings of field archaeologists with those of the epigraphers and art historians to recreate the life of this Maya city from the little-known Early Classic period."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: THE ANCIENT CITY THAT WE know as Rio Azul was reported in 1962, partially explored the same year, published in 1964, looted from 1976 to 1981, and investigated by a five-year project between 1983 and 1987.
