This chapter analyzes the Osario, also called the High Priest’s Grave, by combining early-twentieth-century explorations with recent INAH excavations. A radial temple that parallels the Castillo in some aspects, the Osario is coeval in date with the Temple of the Warriors. The author proposes that the Osario was a representation of Flower Mountain, a place of abundance, home of the gods and ancestors, and an afterlife abode where warriors were rewarded for their heroic lives and contributions to trade and economic prosperity. The chapter further suggests that the cave under the temple served as the final repository for the remains of warriors, who underwent cremation similar to traditions of central Mexico.
