El Chicozapote is a Pre-Columbian archaeological Maya site in the Usumacinta River Basin region of the Mexican state of Chiapas. The site dates from the Classic period of the Maya civilization and it developed as a vassal state subordinated to the kingdom of Yaxchilan. The site discoveries include a group of carved lintels conserving remains of the original paint.[1]
