The ruins of Tuhun Kahan and Tzutzuymul

AUGSBURG (Stephan Merk). The Maya ruins of Tuhun Kahan and Tzutzuymul can be found in the south-western part of the Mexican state of Yucatan. They are neither listed in the Atlas

Arqueológico del Estado de Yucatán (Garza and Kurjack,1980) nor in the files of the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia (INAH), as INAH archaeologist Miguel

Covarrubias pointed out. Covarrubias gives the UTM coordinates of the sites as 16Q 213891E, 2245595N (Tuhun Kahan)

and 16Q 213909E, 2244561N (Tzutzuymul), based on GPS readings obtained by mexicon staff members Karl-Herbert Mayer and Stephan Merk (20°17.212´ N, 89°44.357´ W for Tuhun Kahan and 20°16.646´ N, 89°44.345´ W for Tzutzuymul).

Mayer and Merk reached the sites on March 14th 2004, guided by Manuel Bonilla Camaal from the town of Santa Elena and his son Willy. The party started with a jeep in Santa

ancient Maya site. This place is locally called Tzutzuymul,
