 This may represent a suburban center connected to an allied polity of Blue Creek or even an entirely separate city-state.There is much to be learned from this new, major discovery in the context of a well-studied site like Blue Creek, and it will be a focus of MRP's work at the Blue Creek Field Station for years to come.Mapping of the new site by Blue Creek staff and volunteers began in the 2008 excavation season and will continue in 2011.
