- Yoʼokop is an ancient Maya city located in the Cochuah region of central Quintana Roo, Mexico. This area is best known as the center of the Caste War of Yucatán 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 Yoʼokop 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, Yoʼokop 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.) The grandeur of Yoʼokop can be demonstrated by the fact that the site contains a pyramid (S4W1-1) overgrown with vegetation that is 28 meters tall—only two meters shorter than the celebrated Castillo of Chichen Itza. The site is organized around four groups of architecture made from stone and other enduring materials. These groups are connected with raised roads (sacbeob). The areas between these larger groups contained houses made from perishable materials that are no longer easy to see. An archaeological project was instigated at Yoʼokop in 2000 under the directorship of Justine Shaw and Dave Johnstone. As of 2009 their team has studied Yoʼokop through mapping, ceramic analysis, and test pits. Their initial data shows how the site was organized, fitted within trade networks, and changed over time. Recognizing the significance of the area, in 2003 they expanded their project into a survey of the broader Cochuah region. One scholar affiliated with the project, Johan Normark, has done research that is notable for its use of theories about material culture and "agency". Linnea Wren and Travis Nygard have analyzed the monumental record of Yoʼokop in terms of both sacred and "gendered" space. Sculpture at the site includes two freestanding stelae of male rulers and a wall panel of a male ball player—all three of which are rendered in low-relief. The site also includes carefully carved hieroglyphic stair risers describing a queen (Kaloomte Na Chaʼak Kab) who may have ruled at Yoʼokop under the overlord Sky Witness from Calakmul or . The risers were not found in-situ. (For information on Sky Witness, see the work of Simon Martin and Nicolai Grube.) Prior to Shaw and Johnstone's project the site had been best-studied by Reginald Wilson, who published his findings during the 1970s. A brief visit to the site was also made during the 1950s by the Carnegie Institution of Washington. (en)

Questa zona è conosciuta in particolare per essere stata al centro della guerra delle caste del XIX secolo.

Il sito era stato studiato anche da Reginald Wilson, che pubblicò i risultati negli anni 70. La città era grande e ospitava un buon numero di abitanti prima della conquista spagnola. Il nome si riferisce a un grande lago stagnante presso la zona meridionale dell'insediamento. Il sito ospita una piramide (S4W1-1) semisepolta dalla vegetazione alta 28 metri. Vi sono quattro gruppi architetturali fatti di pietra e di altri materiali durabili. Questi gruppi sono collegati da strade, i sacbé. Le zone tra questi grandi gruppi erano popolate da case costruite in materiali deperibili, legno e fogliame. Un progetto archeologico iniziato nel 2000 ha portato diversi risultati nello studio delle ceramiche e della mappatura della zona. Linnea Wren and Travis Nygard hanno analizzato i monumenti di Yo'okop, e vi sono due stele che rappresentano governatori maschi e un pannello su muro di un giocatore di palla, tutti in basso rilievo. Ci sono anche scalini con iscrizioni che riportano l'esistenza di una regina, Kaloomte Na Cha'ak Kab, che potrebbe aver regnato nella città sotto il gran signore Testimone del Cielo di Calakmul o . Gli scalini non erano in situ. (it)
