Tenamitl

Tenam Puente was a Maya settlement in the highlands of Chiapas, on a route linking the region with Guatemala. Its terraces, plazas and buildings occupied a strategic position in a network of exchange. The settlement flourished in the Late Classic and continued into the Early Postclassic, after many great cities of the central Maya lowlands had declined. Its long occupation illuminates the transition between those periods in the Chiapas highlands.
