Description:
Tomb T5 was located 3.30-3.41 m from the surface, immediately east of tomb T2. This tomb was disturbed, so we do not know its original shape. In it was found the bones of an adult individual of indeterminate sex, placed in extended ventral decubitus with arms arranged on both sides of the body. In addition, the badly deteriorated bones of at least two other individuals were found. The bodies of tomb T5 were covered by plates placed upside down, over which were placed a set of pots and jars of Early Polychrome Conte, Smoked Wared, Red Line, Panelled Red and Red Conte (Lothrop typology, 1942).

C14 analyses were performed on two charcoal samples which yielded the following dates:
cal. 680 to 830 AD (cal. 1270 to 1120 BP)/ cal. 840 to 870 AD (cal. 1110 to 1080 BP)
cal. 780 to 900 AD (cal. 1170 to 1050 BP)/ cal. 920 to 960 AD (cal. 1040 to 990 BP).
