Excavation & Plazas 4, 3, & 2

George And Audrey DeLange

A considerable amount of excavation and restoration has been going on at the site.

These photos of Plaza 2, 3, 4, and of Dr. Pendergast and his team working on site, were taken on May 19, 2003 at about 12:00 noon. These photos were taken about two weeks before the rainy season had really begun for 2003. Things were still pretty dry.
