Bats'ub Cave

Bats'ub Cave (Bats'ub/25 Flight Cave) is located "on the southwest margins of Belize, in a remote corner of the Columbia Forest Reserve near the border with Guatemala. The area lies in the southern foothills of the Maya Mountains, an extinct volcanic range covered by a limestone apron that forms the largest relief feature on the Yucatan Peninsula" (Prufer and Hurst 2007:275). During the surface collection and mapping of the cave site in 1995, a burial was found so surface testing was carried out confirming the presence of human remains as well as of the vessel containing the cacao macro remains (Prufer and Hurst 2007:276). The cave site was excavated later on in 1996 (Prufer and Hurst 2007:276).
