Nearby C-II-3 Mound marker | Additional Description: On the other side of the temple mound where the Ceremonial Area marker is located is this explanatory marker about the mound:
Montículo C-II-3
Durante el Preclásico y Clásico, habitantes de Kaminaljuyu construían sobre edificios anteriores, nivelando pisos para construir sobre ellos. Esto provocó la elevación del terreno, formando montículos como el que se aprecia frente a Usted. Es necesario investigar, conservar y valorizar los edificios enterrados bajo los montículos.
English translation:
Temple Mound C-II-3
During the Pre-Classic and Classic periods the inhabitants of Kaminaljuyu built over previous buildings, leveling the surface in order to build new areas. This increased the elevation of the site, resulting in mounds like the one in front of you here. Its necessary to investigate, conserve and value the buildings buried under the mounds.
