The archaeological site of Pomoná is located on the coastal plains of eastern Tabasco in México, in what is part of the Middle Usumacinta Region. Pomoná, or Pakbul, as its hieroglyphic name is read, was during the Late Classic Maya Period (ca. A.D. 600-800) the political centre of an important kingdom, which occupied a pivotal place in the western Maya Lowlands. Out of six groups of major buildings that have been identified within the extensive site only this, Group 1, has been thoroughly investigated and subjected to partial conservation.

El yacimiento arqueológico de Pomoná se localiza en la planicie costera del este de Tabasco, al pie de los inicios de la Sierra de Chiapas y Guatemala, en lo que es parte de la región central de la cuenca del Usumacinta. Pomoná o Pakbul, como se lee en su denominacion jeroglífica, fue el centro político de un importante reino durante el Período Clásico Tardío Maya (600-800 d.C.), ocupando un lugar importante en las tierras bajas del occidente maya.
