PUBLIC PYRAMIDAL BUILDING A1

Built on the southern area of the upper half of the settlement, 89 m away from the Minor Public Pyramidal Building B1. It is comprised by a stepped pyramidal building with quadrangular basis, to which a smaller architectural volume and a wide platform were attached, both to the southwest of the main building. Only a small section of the building was excavated, where evidence of the late construction period building techniques were found.

Small and medium-sized cut stones were used to build the walls. They were joined with gray and yellow clay mortar and, finally plastered and painted with white clay. Larger stone masonry was used in the last renovations. Shicra bags were placed in the deposits.
