At Chan Chich, the lidar data revealed several unrecorded features beyond the previously mapped limits of the site. To bring these new features into the site numbering system, we extended Group E to the west and south and defined Group I to encompass the structures on the north side of an unnamed creek, which separates Groups G and I (Figure 5.1). These include a possible E Group, a hilltop group with a possible monumental ramp, and a cluster of courtyard groups sharing a small hill in the bajo southwest of the site core. During this season, we focused on field assessment and exploration, through excavation, of some of these newly discovered features. Specifically, we aimed to excavate at Courtyard E-8 and Courtyard I-1, southwest and east/northeast, respectively, of the Main Plaza.
