The Mid Post Classic, traditionally dated between 1200 and 1350 AD, was the city decadent period. The monumental constructions ceased, and so did the imports of sumptuary objects. Chichen Itza struggled to preserve its hegemony, but the political conflicts ended when Mayapan city took the control of the area.
During the period of gradual loss of regional power, the population declined. The ancient buildings were used as house dwelling, and so were the objects left from prior times. This is why it is almost impossible to find objects from the heyday period in the places where they belonged or were supposed to be stored.
This occupation factor affects the contextual interpretations about the lifetime and habits of the dwellers of Chichen Itza in the period of its maximum development.
Mayapan city held the political power, but Chichen Itza was not abandoned during the Late Post Classic period (1350-1530 AD).
