The Maya site of Uxul and evidence for water storage

Record summary

AI-recalled; source quality 5; corroboration 0. Investigations at Uxul documented reservoirs, palace compounds, inscriptions, and evidence relevant to how a Maya center managed water during seasonal scarcity. The site matters for comparison with other lowland centers where water security, political authority, and urban planning were closely connected. Interpretive uncertainties include reservoir chronology, maintenance, population scale, and the degree of political dependence on larger powers such as Calakmul. Researchers can verify the lead through Uxul project publications, excavation reports, ceramic sequences, and epigraphic analyses.
