Xburrotunich
Xburrotunich is a small site of the Maya culture in the southwest of the Mexican state of Yucatán around 6.5 km southeast of the large ruined city of Oxkintoc .
The site has been largely destroyed and has not been archaeologically investigated any further. It is unusual for the Puuc region because it has a building (No. 1) with a snake mouth entrance. Another building had a tall, stone lintel (now in the official buildings of the nearby town of Opichen , which shows a dignitary on the front side. On the narrow side that was originally presumably directed outwards is an inscription in round hieroglyphic cartouches with an unusual arrangement and reading direction, which as "The sculpture of the front of the house of the k'ul ..." is read.
