Site of a large ancient village unearthed by archeologists in the 1940's.
Remains of 800 structures neatly laid out in a city-like grid were unearthed, and showed evidence that the prehistoric inhabitants had mathematics and astronomy knowledge comparable to the ancient Mayans.
The ruins are noted on 1950's topo maps.
