众所周知，古玛雅文明的发展对环境产生了重大而持久的影响。这项研究评估了大量的动物遗骸（> 35，000个标本）在危地马拉Ceibal考古遗址及其周围几公里的范围内恢复，以确定动物资源的组成在公元前1000年至公元1200年之间的整个遗址历史中是否连续，或者是否有任何变化可以归因于社会政治或环境原因。结果表明，在整个网站的淡水软体动物的数量急剧下降，发生在前古典到经典的过渡，当大的区域范围内的政治变化，包括更复杂和集中的政治组织的发展，发生在整个玛雅地区。物种引进的证据（例如，（例如，来自墨西哥中部的火鸡，可能还有来自特万特佩克地峡的Dermatemys河龟），以及随着时间的推移，资源交换（例如，海洋贝壳）的变化表明，Ceibal可能是参与远距离动物交换网络的许多社区之一。Ceibal的动物群分析结果显示，古玛雅人与当地野生动物之间存在着复杂而不断变化的关系，其结果在今天的环境中仍然可以观察到。
It is well known that the development of the ancient Maya civilization had significant and long-lasting impacts on the environment. This study assesses a large collection of faunal remains (>35,000 specimens) recovered over a span of several kilometers in and around the archaeological site of Ceibal, Guatemala, in order to determine whether the composition of animal resources was continuous throughout the site’s history between 1000 BC and AD 1200, or whether there were any changes that could be attributed to sociopolitical or environmental causes. Results show a steep uniform decline in the number of freshwater mollusks across the site that occurred during the Preclassic to Classic transition, when large region-wide political changes, including the development of more complex and centralized political organization, took place throughout the Maya region. Evidence of species introductions (e.g., turkeys from central Mexico and possibly the Dermatemys river turtle from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec) and variations in resource exchange (e.g. marine shells) over time indicate that Ceibal was one of likely many communities involved in long-distance animal exchange networks. The results of the faunal analysis at Ceibal show how the ancient Maya had a complex and ever-changing relationship with the local wildlife, with outcomes that can still be observed in the environment today.
