and 4 Ball Courts, the largest being 70 Mt Long and 8 Mt. wide, there
are not Tall Temples but there are more than 300 Structures, this site
along with Guaytán, dominated the
Jade
and
Obsidian commerce routes in the Motagua
Valley, until Quiriguá gained the regional
power defeating Copàn. There were Jade workshops, that were first worked in smaller
sites such as Aguilucho and
La Ceiba, and then refined and finished here.
4 ball court markers have been found, one is a Pecarí shape of 1.10 mt in
Diameter, they are now in the Teculután Museum. A Burial with Vaulted
