Ihis site is located south of the Mirador-Rio Azul National Park, an area that runs from the northern limits of the Uaxactun village concession and reaches beyond the Guatemala-Mexico border. The settlement was located on a high area of up to 200 meters above sea level, on whose plateau large groups of structures dating from the Preclassic to the Terminal Classic were built. This area was investigated for the first time in 2010, by the Uaxactun Project. The most important find was the discovery of "The House of Paintings" by Dr. Milan Kovac, named for its geometric paintings,
handprints and 160 graffiti found on the walls of the main room of the structure. Due to the importance and magnitude of this site, excavated in the 2010, 2011 and 2015 seasons, it was decided to return in the 2021 field season. The results were satisfactory, since the first stela of the site was found, named Stela 1 de Tz'ibatnah. Its reading, offerings and archaeological context provide important data to understand this city. In addition, the new excavations better define several elements of its history, from the management of water in the Preclassic period.
