Detail InformationEdit

Chakokot is located 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the east of the Main Plaza.[115] It occupies an area of 16 hectares (0.062 sq mi) and consists of 59 structures widely dispersed around a small plaza upon the flat summit of a 40-metre (130 ft) high hill.
Principal occupation dates from the Late Preclassic and Late Classic periods. The soils at Chakokot are considered good for agriculture and maize was grown within the site itself. The area between Chakokot and Motul de San José is occupied by a bajo, or low-lying seasonal swamp.
The Plaza at Chakokot is small and covers an area of about 1,200 square metres (13,000 sq ft). On the north and east sides it is bordered by residential groups, a 3-metre (9.8 ft) square platform is to the south and on the west by two low parallel structures measuring just 0.50 metres (1.6 ft) high.
The largest structure at Chakokot is a 10-metre (33 ft) tall temple to the east of a large residential area bordering the Plaza on the east side.
Most of the residential areas at Chakokot possess one or more bottle-shaped underground storage chambers, known as chultunob, with 14 having been found as of 2001.
Because of the thick vegetation at the site, investigators consider that there are probably more to be found. These chultunob were closed with disc-shaped stone lids, many of which were found either still in place or close to the aperture of the chultun to which it belonged. The stone lids were without perforations so it is supposed that the chambers were used to store dry goods rather than water.
