Tazumal is a pre-Columbian architectural complex in Chalchuapa, western El Salvador, representing Maya construction traditions. Located in the southern portion of the larger Chalchuapa archaeological zone, the site was excavated and restored by archaeologist Stanley Boggs during the 1940s and 1950s. Evidence indicates continuous occupation from the Classic period through the post-Classic era, with archaeological findings revealing far-reaching trade connections extending to central Mexico, the northern Yucatán Peninsula, and lower Central America. Notably, metal artifacts recovered from Tazumal date to the 8th century AD and rank among the earliest metal objects documented from Mesoamerica.
