In the map, there's quite a few smaller structures ("estructuras"), but they may also have been important municipal / religious buildings, and not actual dwellings. So I'm thinking that when you throw in all of the dwelling-spaces and related stuff, the whole area might have been vastly larger than even the full pyramid and surrounding buildings. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Very cool. permalink fedilink source parent
