Visualizing Community Centers in the VEP South Study Area
These images are satellite photographs that help you visualize the largest sites from the VEP South study area, which we call community centers, or towns. In most cases, these sites are unexcavated, and what you can see are the mounds of the large roomblocks. These roomblocks enclose large plazas. In a few cases, excavations have exposed the rooms in the roomblocks, making the sites easier to visualize. Most of the towns in the VEP South study area were many times larger than the community centers that formed in the VEP North study area.
