   How did Chichen Itza get its name?

   • The name Chichen Itza probably derives from a large sinkhole known as the Sacred Cenote or 'mouth of the well of the Itza' into which the Maya threw offerings of jade and gold, and as the presence of bones testifies, human sacrifices. The early history of the site is still not clear, but settlement was certain by the Classic period (c. 250-900 CE).

   Was Chichen Itza a thriving trade centre?

   • A second period of construction seems to coincide with influence from the Toltec civilization. That Chichen Itza was a thriving trade centre with a port at Isla Cerritos is evidenced by finds of goods from elsewhere in Mesoamerica, for example, turquoise from the north, gold disks from the south, and obsidian from the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
