During the Classic period (A. D. 250 - 900), K'axob grew from a village of relatively undifferentiated residences to a group of sprawling residential compounds arranged around two pyramid plazas. Most of the platforms indicated on the site map were occupied during this time and substantial amounts of new construction took place during the Late to Terminal Classic period. Not a home to kings, K'axob nevertheless seems to have maintained and expanded on a core area of monumental architecture at which rituals-probably focused on ancestors and agricultural concerns-were undertaken.
