MINOR PUBLIC BUILDING C4 “Los Frisos Building”
Building of quadrangular framework, 399 m2 long and 2.3 m high, located north of the Major Public Pyramidal Building C1. The main entry faced south.
Cut stones were used for the first building, joined with gray clay mortar, fine gravel and organic material (crushed mollusk shells).
Beige and yellow clay plasters were applied, and low-relief friezes can be seen on certain walls. Among them, there is a head similar to those carved on Cerro Sechin walls.
In the late periods, the rooms were covered with structured deposits of coarse gravel, shicras and angular stones. Platforms were built on top of them with horizontally arranged stones, joined with beige and yellow clay mortar, plastered with clay of the same colors. On the top of the building stands a ceremonial hall with a quadrangular fire pit. No central staircases corresponding to these periods have been found.
