Archaeological zones, many of them unexplored, pepper the Quintana Roo landscape. Sites along the coast are testimony to the importance of the north-south Caribbean trade route still in use at the time of the Conquest, while the ancient cities of the south date from the Classic period and had links with city states in the Petén. Artificial reservoirs, irrigation and raised fields improved crop yields and evidence suggests that up to one million people inhabited pre-Conquest Southern Quintana Roo, more than the state's present-day population.
