Uaymil

Uaymil is a pre-Columbian Maya archaeological site located on the Gulf Coast of northern Campeche.

The settlement of Uaymil occupies a small island approximately 2.5 kilometers from the coast and 25 km north of Jaina.

A number of additional monuments and stele were also identified (Cobos et al. 2005).

Ceramic data recovered during archaeological excavation indicate that Uaymil was predominantly a Late to Terminal Classic site.

Ceramic, lithic, and architectural data suggest that Uaymil had economic ties with both Uxmal and Chichén Itzá (Inurreta and Cobos 2003), but largely functioned as a port directly connected to, and dependent on, Uxmal (Cobos 2004).
