We excavated three 1x1 m tests here in November of 2002. The site is on a gently inclined slope, between the San José and Sardinas Grande rivers, and lies at approximately 1,720 m above sea level. Visible on the landscape is a double terrace, one smaller terrace, and a drainage ditch approximately three meters wide. The area is currently used for pasture. It can be accessed by foot from the main Borja-Chaco road or from a side road that runs parallel to the San José River, which leads to a few scattered farms. The survey collections here produced only Cosanga sherds. This site was chosen to collect samples for the analysis of botanical remains from the Late Period.
