MAJOR PUBLIC PYRAMIDAL BUILDING WITH SUNKEN CIRCULAR PLAZA H
The building was erected on an embankment adapted with a succession of stepped terraces, on the southwestern side of the urban center. It is 82 m long, 52 m wide and 4.8 m high.
The building was erected with stepped terraces. A central staircase led to the top where a large ceremonial hall was built with other subsequent main and secondary rooms.
The construction used cut stones of different sizes, joined in irregular rows with gray, brown and beige clay mortar. The deposits were made of smaller cut stones, mixed with gravel, earth and sand. In the later periods orthostats were placed in the retaining walls of the terraces.
