Las ruinas de Tenampúa

This was the first report published concerning Popenoe's archaeological research on the hilltop fortress, Tenampua, located in the Comayagua Valley of Honduras. Here, she mapped the site; described the walled precinct containing a ballcourt and temple; and excavated a complete Ulua Polychrome dish, now in the Museum of the Native American Indian (Smithsonian Institution). Based on the pottery, the site is related to Classic Period cultures from Honduras.
