Itzan is a Maya archaeological site located in the municipality of La Libertad in the Petén Department of Guatemala. Various small structures at the site were destroyed in the 1980s during oil exploration activities by Sonpetrol and Basic Resources Ltd, prompting rescue excavations by archaeologists. In spite of its small size, the site appears to have been the most politically important centre in its area, as evidenced by its unusually large quantity of monuments and the size of its major architecture.

  • Itzán es un yacimiento arqueológico maya localizado en el municipio de La Libertad en el Petén, Guatemala,​ y pertenece a las ciudades de la cuenca del Usumacinta. Algunas estructuras del yacimiento fueron dañadas y otras destruidas durante actividades de exploración petrolera de las empresas Sonpetrol y Basic Resources Ltd, durante los años 1980, lo que motivó tareas de rescate y excavación urgentes por parte de diversos arqueólogos.​ A pesar de su tamaño, relativamente pequeño, el sitio parece haber sido uno de los más importantes centros políticos del área como queda evidenciado por el gran número de monumentos y por el tamaño de algunos de ellos.​El sitio fue ocupado en un principio durante el periodo preclásico medio y esta ocupación continuó hasta el clásico tardío.​ (es)
