This is the southeast corner of Temple XX, as it looked early in February 2003. We began the season by restoring the terrace walls on the south side. |
Here's the south side of Temple XX, with the restoration nearly complete. There's a final small excavation at the base to resolve some questions about the plan of the structure. |
