The Cemetery Group

History
The Cemetery Group takes its name from skull and crossbones motifs and headdresses shown in bas-reliefs on four small platforms on the north side of the patio. Its construction dates to 900-1000 A.D. On a western platform stand three small structures, with the central one the best preserved. Their sober decoration includes plain walls and a frieze that still preserves a few cornstalks, and remains of a stucco-coated roof crest are also present.
