Yes, the Maya civilization employed a tribute system as a means of economic and political organization. City-states would extract tribute from surrounding regions, which included goods such as food, textiles, and luxury items. This system helped to maintain power and influence among the elite and facilitated trade and resource distribution within and between city-states. Tribute was often collected during religious ceremonies and was essential for sustaining the social hierarchy.
