伯利兹北部塞罗斯的前古典晚期玛雅中心（公元前 300 年至公元 150 年）揭示了复杂的水控制系统的证据。社区中心内的运河和高架平台已经过检查。在纪念碑填充物的采石过程中，系统地去除了下面的石灰岩盖层，以保持社区充足的排水。其结果是在整个核心场地区域形成了人造地形或分水岭。讨论了 Cerros 现在和过去微环境的作用。
The Late Preclassic Maya center of Cerros, northern Belize (300 B.C. to A.D. 150) has revealed evidence of a sophisticated water control system. Canals and raised field platforms have been examined inside the community center. An underlying limestone caprock was systematically removed during the quarrying of monument fill to maintain adequate drainage in the community. The result was a man-made relief or watershed across the entire core site area. The role of present and past microenvironments at Cerros is addressed.
