During Middle Preclassic times there is clear evidence of increasing cultural complexity at several sites, including the site of Nakbe, in the middle of the Yucatan peninsula. The Nakbe people built elaborate stone buildings on huge platform mounds between 600 and 400 BC, and later began carving stone stelae and placing masks made of plaster and masonry on their pyramids, possibly signifying the development of kingship.
Perhaps the most impressive Preclassic Maya site is El Mirador, located in the dense Peten forest of Guatemala. It dates to between 150 BC and 50 AD, predating the emergence of the Classic Maya. At this time most Maya settlements were small villages with limited public architecture, but El Mirador stands out because of its large size and impressive public architecture.
