Ka'Kabish
Ka'Kabish is an archaeological site in the Orange Walk District of Belize, Central America, located near the Maya sites of Lamanai, El Pozito, and Blue Creek. It was once a moderate sized city, built as part of the Maya civilization,〔 and has been determined to have been largely autonomous throughout its history. The modern communities of Indian Church and San Filipe are in close proximity to Ka’Kabish, and the Mennonite community of Blue Creek is slightly further afield. A road connecting Indian Church to San Filipe separates the site into two areas, the North Complex and the South Complex.〔Haines, Helen R. 2014. “Six Years and Counting!:Overview of the 2013 Field Season”.

Alfredo Barrera Vasquez’s ''Diccionario Maya'' defines the name as; "KA’KAB-IS-AX 10: (place name); ka’kab: village, the seat of population, high land and strong; is: Ipomoea batatas, Lam: sweet + ax: wart; name of the archaeological ruins located near Numk’ini (Nun k’ini, Campeche)."〔Barrera Vasquez, A. 1995. ''Diccionario Maya'', 3rd edition. Mexico, DF: Editorial Porrua, S. A.〕
The current name of the site is believed to be relatively modern, but its origin has resisted attempts to be traced.〔
==History==
Ka'Kabish is believed to have been initially occupied during the Maya Late Pre-Classic Period (ca. 400 BCE- 200 CE) with one temple securely dated to this time and a second tentatively dated to this period.〔Haines, Helen R. 2008. "Causeway Terminus, Minor Centre, Elite Refuge, or Ritual Capital? Ka’Kabish, A New Puzzle on the Ancient Maya Landscape of North-Central Belize". In ''Research Reports in Belizean Archaeology'' Volume 5. Institute of Archaeology, NICH, Belize〕 Material recovered from the tops of some of the buildings suggest that the city was in use at least until end of the Classic Period (900 CE), while evidence from the residential zone surrounding the city indicates a thriving occupation as late as the end of the Early Post-Classic Period (1200 CE).〔
