Exploring Maya Ritual Caves offers a rare survey and explication of most of the known ancient Maya ritual caves in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize. The caves were the Maya underworld, where rituals, including animal and human sacrifice, were carried out. The Maya cave cult and mythology, construction and modification of the caves, and cult art and artifacts are discussed. Chládek, an intrepid explorer, then describes important caves that he has recently visited and provides photos of their wonders.

ABSTRACT: The ritual use of caves and associated landscape features has garnered increased archaeological attention. The thorough examination of cave faunal assemblages, however, is still relatively rare. These deposits are often deemed "problematical" due to the difficulty in interpreting the presence of animal skeletal remains in cave contexts. New ethnozoological research by Linda Brown and Kitty Emery (2008) suggests that the key to understanding these cave deposits can be found in contemporary hunting ritual practices. Linda Brown (2005, 2006) has documented the practice of hunting ceremonialism among modern Maya hunters in the Guatemalan highlands. These practices involve the ritual caching of animal skeletal remains at sacred landscape features such as caves, rock shelters, and rock outcrops. Using the material signature of hunting ceremonialism developed by Brown and Emery (2008), this study tests the connection between archaeological caves deposits and hunting ceremonialism. This analysis examines in detail the zooarchaeological, spatial, and material characteristics of faunal assemblages from nine cave sites: Cueva de los Quetzales, Cueva de Rio Murcielagos, Aguateca Grieta, Naj Tunich, Eduardo Quiroz, Actun Balam, Actun Polbilche, Stela Cave, and Caves Branch Rockshelter. As part of a larger discussion, this study also analyzes the validity of previous studies that have attempted to identify pan-Maya ritual practices involving the deposition of faunal remains in cave contexts. This study challenges the idea of pan-Maya ritual practices and calls for a more in-depth, site-specific analysis of Maya ritual practices.

Stone Houses and Earth Lords is the first volume dedicated exclusively to the use of caves in the Maya Lowlands, covering primarily Classic Period archaeology from A.D. 100 through the Spaniards' arrival. Although the caves that riddled the lowlands show no signs of habitation, most contain evidence of human use - evidence that suggests that they functioned as ritual spaces.

Pilgrimage to ritually significant places is a part of daily life in the Maya world. These journeys involve important social and practical concerns, such as the maintenance of food sources and world order. Frequent pilgrimages to ceremonial hills to pay offerings to spiritual forces for good harvests, for instance, are just as necessary for farming as planting fields. Why has Maya pilgrimage to ritual landscapes prevailed from the distant past and why are journeys to ritual landscapes important in Maya religion? How can archaeologists recognize Maya pilgrimage, and how does it compare to similar behavior at ritual landscapes around the world? The author addresses these questions and others through cross-cultural comparisons, archaeological data, and ethnographic insights.
