La Muerta

La Muerta is a Maya archaeological site in the northern Petén region of Guatemala, located between the sites of El Mirador and El Tintal. It is located on a promontory 3.5 kilometres (2.2 mi) south of the El Tigre complex of El Mirador, and it is considered a satellite of that city. La Muerta was inhabited during the Early to Late Classic Period. The site has been extensively looted. Although the precise origin of the name is unknown, the site takes its name from when it was used as a gum-gatherers' camp, the name meaning "the dead (woman or thing)" in Spanish.
