Detail InformationEdit
Tayasal is a Maya archaeological site located in present day Guatemala. The bulk of the site’s artifacts date to the Postclassic Period. As many as fifty burials and twelve caches have been recovered from Tayasal.
There is currently some debate among scholars about whether the location of the ethnohistoric Tayasal is actually the modern site of Topoxte, Guatemala.
The ethnohistory records Lake Peten Itza as the site of Tayasal, but archaeologically, Lake Yaxha, where Topoxte is located, fits the data better.
Excavations at Tayasal revealed high levels of ceramic diversity. The area defined as the Tayasal-Paxcaman Zone can be divided into nine temporal periods. The site appears to have been occupied since the Preclassic Period, beginning at approximately 900 B.C. Site Architecture During the transition between the Late Preclassic and Early Classic periods Maya society underwent a fundamental reorganization.
A different kind of architecture, known as the E-Group, emerged during this period. E groups are astronomically significant constructions. In this area, the emergence of the E group is contemporaneous with the appearance of the stela cult at Tayasal. E groups were eventually replaced by the Plaza Plan 2 Group. Buildings that fit into the Plaza Plan 2 arrangement at Tayasal were constructed during the Late Classic period.
