Figure 5. Plan of Sub-structure 4Sub-1, under Structure 4.
The excavated section of substructure 4Sub-1 revealed a segment of its façade, built
with roughly cut limestone blocks, with stucco on its top, measuring approximately 1.20
m high with a 20 cm-high frontal banquette and traces of three postholes in front,
although these could also have belonged to an earlier construction (Photo 3, Figure 4
and Figure 5). We could see the vertex with an east wall and what could be another
banquette from north to south, or part of another structure (Photo 5). The fill technique
of this substructure consisted of retention boxes located at approximately every two
meters (Photo 6).
