Occupation at Yagul dates as far back as the Middle to Late Preclassic. Elaborate Preclassic period burials have been excavated at Yagul, accompanied by ceramic effigy vessels that indicate the increasing influence of Monte Albán upon the local elite.
In the Late Postclassic, immediately prior to the Spanish Conquest, Yagul had a population of more than 6000 people.
