A looters' trench reveals to the research team (above) details of the 80-foot-high pyramid at San Bartolo, a Maya ceremonial site. Cut stones from the exterior, now over grown by the jungle, appear at the top of the trench. A low tunnel leads into the mural room. The looters left a map (left) showing the route of their tunnelings. They probably had hoped to find opulent tombs. How ever, the site was likely abandoned about A.D. 400, before the advent of artifact-rich pyramid graves. NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC, APRIL 2002 g5$
