Mayan Rabbit Scribe Introduction: Project ''Reimaging" is an outgrowth and natural evolution of much of the material presented within the site of xibalba.com from its inception to today. Early projects (Mesoamarican Archaeological Survey Services) and outgrowths (unbelizeable.com) carried a limited focus on various areas of interest.

Today, with larger drivespace available and substantially greater bandwidth much more readily available, it is now possible to present an intensive overview of various ruins visited during the nineties in Belize, Guatemala and the north eastern portion of the Yucatan.

Project: Reimaging the Past not only deals with the various ruins noted but also represents a photojournal of some of my travels through the above noted countries. Though these travels were somewhat limited in scope (proximity and time), I do hope that the material presented will be visually, emotionally and intellectually stimulating.

Site Standards: Photographic presentation, within the confines of this project, will follow certain standars. These are as follows:

  • Filename: General ''Top Level'' Filename
  • Location: Country
  • Description: Ruin Name/Group/Structure Name may be present in this field
  • Source: 35mm Negative/Slide/Print (plus film type used)
  • Resolution: Available screen resolutions available for download/viewing
  • Comments: A brief description of the photograph
  • Credits: Copyright information

Dedication and Acknowledgements: There are a number of people I do need to thank for my time in Belize. First, and foremost, are Jaime Awe and Mark Campbell. Without them, I never would have made my first soujourn to Belize the summer of 1990.

Secondly, I wish to extend my thanks to the various families and friends that opened their hearts and homes to me in San Ignacio, Cayo District, Belize. These are: the Awe family and their inlaws, the Bejos family, Alicia and Louis Cambranes, the Requena family (of Santa Elena) and so many more. Without them, I would have missed out on so many positive life lessons.

I would also like to extend my thanks to several professors I studied with at the University of Calgary from ca. 1988 to 1995: Dr. Peter Mathews and Dr. David H. Kelley. Your passion for Mayan culture (past and present) helped fuel my desire to seek out fieldwork and experience all this for myself. Additional thanks go out to several professors that touched briefly but brightly upon me: Dr. Linda Scheley, Dr. Floyd Lounsbury, Dr. Dennis Tedlock. I'm thankful that I had the opportunities to meet you and to share in your enthusiasm.

Last, but not at all least, are the students and workers from the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance. All of you touched my life in some fashion or another. Jose and the Martinez family, Evril and the Tut family, all of you will hold a special place in my memories.
