La Sufricaya is an
archaeological site of the
pre-Columbian Maya civilization, located in the
Petén Basin region of present-day
Guatemala. The site is situated approximately 1.2km west of the site of
Holmul, and the relationship between these two sites during the Classic period occupations is a main focus of ongoing investigations.
Teotihuacano-style imagery found on stelae and murals at the site are suggestive of foreign (ie, non-Maya) presence, or even occupation, although much of the site's extent and historical relationships are yet to be fully excavated and analysed.
