Mayan Hunting Practices: A Visual Analysis
Mayans utilized bows and arrows to hunt various animals to sustain their families. The size of the animal determined how many people it could feed. A graphical representation illustrates the feeding capacity of different animals like turkey, peccary, bass fish, agouti, and deer in relation to the number of people they could feed. The data is graphed for easy comprehension.

Hunting The Mayan Way
The Mayans hunted many different types of animals using bows and arrows. They used these animals to feed their families. peccary agouti turkey deer bass fish
Hunters would have to kill enough animals to feed their families. The more people in their family, the more animals they needed to hunt. However, not all animals fed the same amount of people. It mostly depended on the size of the animal.
One animal... Could feed... 1 turkey 8 people 1 peccary 18 people 1 bass fish 2 people 1 agouti 2 people 1 deer 22 people
Lets look at the parts of our bar graph, and then graph the data. This line (y-axis) represents how many people an animal can feed. This line (x-axis) represents one of a certain animal.
So we label our graph like this: 25 20 y-axis = how many people an animal can feed 15 # of people 10 5
So we label our graph like this: 25 y-axis = how many people an animal can feed 20 # of people x-axis = one of a certain animal 15 10 5 turkey peccary bass agouti deer one animal
We need to remember the hunting data. Lets break it down... One animal... Could feed... 1 turkey 8 people 1 peccary 18 people 1 bass fish 2 people 1 agouti 2 people 1 deer 22 people
Then, we graph our hunting data from the problem. y-axis x-axis
