Cival is a Preclassic period ancient Maya center located in the northeastern Peten, Guatemala that flourished between ca. 800 BC and AD 300. In 2013 and 2014, a series of excavations were conducted on Structure 9, which is the western radial pyramid associated with the site’s Central E-Group complex. E-Groups are architectural pattern found in the Maya Lowlands that served as early locales of community and ceremony during the Preclassic period. These excavations uncovered a series of caches, termination rituals, and deliberate destruction of architectural features across five major phases of construction for Structure 9. This presentation utilizes the theories of social memory and sacred place to provide insight into the ritual activities associated with this structure. It also draws upon previous ritual activity conducted in the Central E-Group plaza, including six plaza caches, and the site’s broader history to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of the role of this complex as a sacred place and hub of memory at Cival..
