Which large Preclassic Maya site is located in the Mirador Basin?

The large Preclassic Maya site located in the Mirador Basin is El Mirador.

El Mirador lies in the northern Petén region of Guatemala, within the Mirador-Calakmul Karst Basin. It flourished mainly during the Middle and Late Preclassic periods, roughly from 1000 BC to AD 250, making it substantially older than famous Classic-period centers such as Tikal and Palenque. Its monumental core includes thousands of structures and enormous pyramidal complexes.

The site is especially known for La Danta, one of the largest pyramid complexes in the Maya world by volume. El Mirador also developed an extensive network of raised limestone causeways called sacbeob, linking major compounds within the city and neighboring settlements such as Nakbe and El Tintal. These roads reveal the scale of regional organization during the early development of Maya civilization.

A common mix-up is Calakmul, another major Maya center in the broader basin. Calakmul is nearby and historically important, but the question asks for the large Preclassic site specifically associated with the Mirador Basin: El Mirador.
