Abstract

Chance discoveries in recent years in British Honduras have produced four pottery vessels of considerable interest, ranging in date from late Preclassic to Late Classic. Three of the vessels suggest relationship between British Honduran sites and Tikal, while the fourth is decorated with a complex scene not elsewhere recorded in the Maya area.
