Rectangle 12

The area of Rectangle 12 is defined by foundation walls forming a square roughly 7 meters in width. Rec 12 lies immediately to the south of the entrance in the western flank of the upper building which is defined by the two mounds of earth preserveing mud-brick walls. The southern half of Rec. 12 contains the "Buco del Tesoro".

Excavation in Rec. 12 for the 1977 season is a cintuation of the work initiated by Mark Fullerton in 1976. (see M Fullerton: Book One ) We can expect to find bucchero fragments with stamped decoration on the basis of last years work, as well as unusual course ware shapes. (see Fullerton: Book One, p. 154 )

At present evidence of the foundation of the lower building incovered by fullerton is Rec. 10 is lacking in Rec 12.
