Tases

Tases was a Maya jurisdiction in northeastern Yucatán before Spanish conquest. It formed one of the several independent territories into which the peninsula was divided after the decline of Mayapán. Its communities lay among the inland settlements and coastal routes of eastern Yucatán, neighbours to Chikinchel, Cupul and Ekab. During the sixteenth century these Maya territories confronted a prolonged Spanish campaign to impose colonial rule.
