Itzan
Itzan is a Maya archaeological site located in the municipality of La Libertad in the Petén Department of Guatemala.〔Ponciano 1991, p.232.〕 Various small structures at the site were destroyed in the 1980s during oil exploration activities by Sonpetrol and Basic Resources Ltd, prompting rescue excavations by archaeologists.〔 In spite of its small size, the site appears to have been the most politically important centre in its area, as evidenced by its unusually large quantity of monuments and the size of its major architecture.〔Ponciano 1991, pp.234-235.〕
The site was first occupied in the Middle Preclassic, with occupation continuing to the Late Classic.〔Román de León & Johnston 1992, pp.50, 54.〕
==Location==
The ruins are northwest of the Dos Pilas archaeological site on the bank of a minor tributary of the Pasion River.〔Sharer & Traxler 2006 , p.387.〕〔Coe 1999, p.152.〕 The city was on a natural hilltop surrounded by ravines and seasonal swamps.〔Ponciano 1991, p.234.〕 The tributary of the Pasion River has its origin in Laguna Itzan, a small lake to the east of the site.〔 A spring to the west of the site appears to have been a permanent watersource for the city.〔 Itzan is situated roughly halfway between the Classic Period cities of Altar de Sacrificios and Seibal, and is located about northeast of the former.〔Román de León & Johnston 1992, p.50.〕〔Houston, p.3.〕 The site is located approximately west of the modern town of Sayaxché and north of the Pasion River.〔
