Louisville

A Maya archaeological site in the Corozal District of northern Belize, occupied from approximately 400 BC to 950 AD. The site contains substantial artificial mounds representing the remains of an ancient Maya city. Excavations by Dr. Thomas Gann in the mid-1930s uncovered polychrome stucco portrait heads. Much of the ancient architecture was tragically demolished in the 20th century, with stone reused as fill for road construction, and both major pyramids were bulldozed. Further investigations were conducted in 2000 to document surviving remains.
