Abstract

The article was originally without an abstract. Short description by Editorial Team. 

Nakum is an archaeological site in northern Guatemala. The geographic setting of the site and the history of research are being described here. Hermes and Calderón provide preliminary ideas about the chronology of the site. Also results of surveys led by Justyna Olko in the peripheries (areas outside the central, monumental architecture zone) of Nakum are included here. Jarosław Źrałka describes the observations that relate to the depopulation of the site.
