Detail InformationEdit

The Terminal Classic occupation was largely limited to the lake shore but was fairly dense. The monumental architecture, port and the ballcourt all identify La Trinidad de Nosotros as an important secondary centre within the Motul de San José polity.
Additionally, the site was situated close to a source of chert and probably manufactured chert tools.
La Trinidad de Nosotros has been tentatively identified as Xililchi, a settlement visited by conquistador Martín de Ursúa after Spanish Conquest of the Itza capital Noj Petén in 1697, but no Late Postclassic remains have yet been securely identified.
It is located 2.6 kilometres (1.6 mi) southeast of Motul de San José on the northern shore of Lake Petén Itzá. The site is located at the closest point to Motul on the lake shore and it may have served as a Maya port.
The site has more than 115 structures located in an area of 35 hectares (0.14 sq mi), and the site may actually cover 55 hectares (0.21 sq mi) and contain about 150 structures. The site had a long occupational history stretching right through from the Middle Preclassic to the Early Postclassic, with two phases of greater activity in the Early Classic around AD 350 and in the Late Classic from AD 650–830.
The site is divided into two areas. The site core is located on a hill 40 metres (130 ft) above the lake and with a good view across it. The second area is spread along the lake shore and the hillside leading to the site core. The site core has at least 80 structures arranged around five plazas. The majority of the structures are residential in nature but La Trinidad has an unusual amount of ceremonial architecture for such a small site. La Trinidad seems to have been an important port for the import and export of goods to and from Motul de San José.
