Listeros,
INAH is investigating a glyph series on a stela at the Casa Colorado
building at Chichen Itza. There is an inscription on a stela that
refers to the date 869 CE. The date may indicate the year the building
was finished. Construction may have started on the building between
800-850 CE. If this date is correct, it would represent one of the
first occupation periods at Chichen Itza. Other structures are being
excavated at this quadrant including restoration on the 10th ball
court found at the site. The main structure has big nosed deities and
decorative figureheads associated with Chaac. Mostly red on buff
ceramics containing foreign materials have been found at this site.
INAH has the story here;
