San José, Unit 3: (VQ041-183940,9955760). Excavated on the front edge of the upper terrace (see VQ040), which measures 14 x 7 meters, and is located just a few meters from VQ040. This was likely a residential area. All sherds collected here were Cosanga. The stratigraphy was straightforward. A carbon sample from level three yielded a date of 1,151 ± 32 A.D. This seems a coherent date for association with Cosanga pottery.
