Description: "Report on archaeological survey project in the Candelaria drainage of southwestern Yucatán. Provides descriptions and plans of sites and discusses their dating (based on ceramic collections), site typology, settlement patterns, communication routes, and canal systems. Incorporates a more detailed account of El Tigre, the largest site in the region, which reached its peak during the late postclassic period. Focuses on its relationship to ethnohistorical accounts of Acalan, a State that dominated the region at the time of the Spanish conquest"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
