The structures were storage rooms, residential rooms, and one ceremonial/meeting room. Considerable manufacturing occured with 'surplus production of ceramic vessels ... [and] other crafts, suggest[ing] a highly integrated community system operating under the management of a centralized leader.'(page 141)
