Key facts
- Alfredo Delgado cleared a large block showing two legs descending towards a throne, indicating a seated figure carved in low relief on a monumental stela
- Another block showed a standing human figure with elongated headgear and a crouched figure, with a channel or crack running through it, possibly explaining why it was not finished
- A worked stone beside the large stela appears, according to Alfredo Delgado, to be the beginnings of a feline figure
- Several partly worked boulders, some described as resembling giant tombstone-like slabs, remain in situ at the site
- Delgado used a machete and brush to clear the stones, a method typical of quick field documentation rather than formal excavation
