An Architectural Compound Associated with the Elite at Sihó, Yucatán
Abstract
Early XXI century archaeological research conducted at Sihó, Yucatán, revealed the existence of an architectural compound associated with elite members. This compound is located at a short distance to the northwest of the site-center. It provides information on the spatial distribution of elaborate architectural groups linked with residential units in one type of Maya settlements dating back to the Late Classic period. Architectural remains, vestiges of sumptuary objects, and evidence of a carved panel suggest that the compound’s residents were privileged individuals living an opulent lifestyle.
