Tayasal

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.
