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

History

Kiuic was a Mayan city of the Late and Terminal Mayan Classic Periods. It was abandoned by the Maya around 880 CE.[1] The site is well-preserved, and in that regard compared by archaeologists to Pompeii.[1]

Archaeology

The site has been under-going archaeological exploration since 2000, in part by Millsaps College archaeologists.[2] Kiuic was extensively discussed in a PBS Nova and National Geographic special.[3]
