Izapa is the current name1 of a former city along a tributary of the Suchiate River,2 below the Tacaná volcano, within Chiapas State, México. It flourished 600 BCE to 100 CE (although there is much uncertainty about these dates).3 In the absence of better information the formal scope of Izapa's polity can be presumed local.
