Abstract
A total of 81 pottery and 25 clay samples from the archaeological site and hinterland areas of Blue Creek in northwest Belize were analyzed by instrumental neutron activation analysis and inductively-coupled-plasma mass-spectrometry at the University of Missouri Research Reactor. Data generated for this study offers insight into local clay-resource variability and movement of pottery in the transition from Early (A.D. 250–600) to Late Classic (A.D. 600–850) occupation. Comparison of data generated by the two analytical techniques demonstrates the relative strengths and weaknesses of each method.
