Caption
Pictured is the Birds of Paradise (BOP) ancient Maya wetland field system and parts of the nearby Maya sites of Gran Cacao (bottom-left) and Akab Muclil (top-left) in Northwestern Belize. The authors created this image from a lidar-derived digital elevation model (DEM); a semi-transparent hillshaded DEM overlays a colorized DEM with a color stretch that emphasizes anthropogenic features.
