Kiuic Explained

Kiuic is a Maya archaeological site in the Puuc region of Yucatán, Mexico.

History

Kiuic ([1]) was a Maya city of the Late and Terminal s, with evidence of earlier occupation. It was abandoned by the Maya around 880 CE.[2] The site is well-preserved, and in that regard compared by archaeologists to Pompeii.[2]

Archaeology

First documented in print by John Lloyd Stephens and Frederick Catherwood in 1843. The site was visited by later Mayanists including Teoberto Maler.

The site has been undergoing archaeological exploration since 2000, in part by Millsaps College archaeologists.[3] Kiuic was extensively discussed in a PBS Nova and National Geographic special.[4] [5]
