Comalcalco (archaeological site)
Comalcalco is an ancient Mayan archaeological site in the State of Tabasco, Mexico, near the southern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. It is the only major Maya city built with bricks rather than limestone masonry and was the westernmost city of the Mayan civilisation. Covering an area of , Comalcalco was founded in the Late Classic period and may have been a satellite or colony of Palenque based on architectural similarities between the two.〔INAH〕 The city was a center of the Chontal Maya people.〔Mundo Maya〕
== Etymology ==
The name is linked to the adjacent modern city of Comalcalco and derives from the Nahuatl words ''comalli'' (comales) ''calli'' (house) and the locative ''co'', literally meaning "At the House of the Comales" or "Place of the House of the Comales". This name is a reference to the bricks of the ruined Maya site, which later people thought resembled ''comales''.〔 The ancient place name associated with Comalcalco is ''Joy Chan'' , (also spelled Hoi Chan),〔Biró, p. 36.〕 which means "round sky" or "clouded sky".〔〔Armijo and Jiménez, p.450〕
