El Paraíso is considered a residential complex; the two large mounds
were used for habitation. It resembles later residential architecture,
and no artifacts anomalous to domestic use are known (Moseley and
Willey 1973:464; Williams 1980:101). The architecture includes courts
and rooms interconnected by corridors (Moseley 1978:512). At the same
time the site manifests a high degree of planning and is uniformly
oriented 25Á east of north, perpendicular to the 1500 B.C solstice
sunrise, as is the Piedra Parada site, located two miles inland from
Aspero (Quilter 1991:417).
