Abstract
This is a detailed synopsis of the structural remains found at the Canal Locality site located approximately 1.5 kilometers northeast of Tula Grande near the modern Endho irrigation canal. Healan groups the houses excavated into three major house blocks which he designates as the East Group, Central Group, and West Group. He then presents a discussion of the principal architectural characteristics of each group detailing in a series of figures the physical appearance of the structures involved, the materials used in construction, associated house platforms, wall, floor and roof, contruction, entrance ways, decorative elements attached to houses, drainage systems, and passageways and thoroughfares at the site.
