Baking Pot is an ancient Maya archaeological site located in the Belize River Valley on the southern bank of the river, northeast of modern day town of San Ignacio in the Cayo District of Belize.
Baking Pot is associated with an extensive amount of research into Maya settlements, community-based archaeology, and of agricultural production; the site possesses lithic workshops, and evidence of cash-cropping cacao as well as a long occupation from the Preclassic through to the Postclassic period.
