Structure VIII from the Maya archaeological site of Becan, Campeche, Mexico. Rediscovered in 1934 by archaeologists John Denison and Karl Ruppert, ‘Becan’ was named after the distinctive ditch surrounding the center of the city -its original ancient name is not known. Becan was occupied in the middle Pre-Classic period (ca. 550 BCE), and reached its peak in population and as a ceremonial center during the late Pre-Classic, declining in the early Classic period (ca. 250 CE).
