Mound 14, Inajasal.—This is 1 km. east of Mound 13 (fig. 105). It is the largest of the habitation sites, being 51 meters long, 25 to 35 meters wide, and to meters high along the summit.^" The slopes are steep and covered with trees except at the center of the east side. The summit and the east slope are grassy (pi. 32, b). Because of its size and the abundance of the surface sherd refuse, this mound was selected for stratigraphic excavation.
