This paper examines the architectural context of caches, burials, and other ritual activities within Classic Period Maya structures, specifically at Caracol, Belize. It argues that the contents of Maya buildings are significant in understanding their functions and meanings, with a focus on how ritual deposits and archaeological materials correlate with architecture. The study aims to explore the relationships between building forms, their contents, and the broader cultural practices of the Maya civilization.
