JOYA DE CEREN – HUMAN HERITAGE
Joya de Ceren, one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in Mesoamerica in several decades. Although the Maya World is replete with grand ceremonial centers erected by the elates of Classic and Post-Classic periods, Joya de Ceren is the best-Known example of an ancient farming community. Farmers constituted the majority of the population, raising crops to feed their families, the nobility and priest class, and providing a labor pool to be tapped for the construction of temples in ceremonial centers.
