This group is a residential area located south of the Great Plaza, believed to have been the living quarters of the ruling elite and their closest relatives. It is The Cemetery Complex because of the large amount of skeletons found beneath each of the dwellings. After studying the bone remains found in this group it was determined that the ruling class at Copan was a polygamic society, where one person was married to more than one spouse. A large amount of female bone remains found in some of the dwellings seems to hint at this when compared with the amount of male bone remains.
