High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yo'okop is an ancient Maya city located in the Cochuah region of central Quintana Roo, Mexico. This area is best-known as the epicenter of the Caste War of Yucatan waged during the 19th century, that resulted in an independent Maya state governed from the city of Chan Santa Cruz. The site was first publicized by the archaeologist Herbert Spinden along with the New York Times journalist Gregory Mason during the 1920s, but intensive scrutiny did not begin until the 21st century. Recent archaeological work at Yo'okop has revealed that it was a large and significant urban center before the Spanish Conquest. It was continuously inhabited from the Formative Period through the Postclassic Period, as revealed by the presence of datable ceramic sherds and architecture. The name of the site, Yo'okop refers to a large shallow lake at the southern end of the settlement. (“Yo” is an article and “Okop” means lake. In older scholarship the site is referred to without the article as Okop.)
