  • The Preclassic period in Maya history stretches from the beginning of permanent village life ca. 1000 BCE until the advent of the Classic Period ca. 250 CE, and is subdivided into Early (prior to 1000 BCE), Middle (1000-400 BCE), and Late (400 BCE- 250 CE). Major archaeological sites of this period include Nakbe, Uaxactun, Seibal, San Bartolo, Cival, and El Mirador in Guatemala; Cahal Pech, Blackman Eddy, and Cerros in Belize; and Calakmul, Yaxnohcah, Ichkabal, Komchen, and Xocnaceh in Mexico. The Southern Maya area is believed to have been important to the rise of Maya civilization, with sites such as Kaminaljuyu, Izapa, Monte Alto, and Paso de la Amada. The Middle and Late Preclassic periods in the Maya lowlands witnessed the development of urbanism, monumental architecture, Maya script, and political institutions including divine kingship. Maya society underwent a series of profound transformations between ca. 100 CE and 250 CE, which resulted in the cessation of monumental building at many Preclassic cities and the inferred collapse of their political and economic systems, often characterized as the "Preclassic Collapse."
