Inside of the Red House are a series of hieroglyphics (stylized pictographic script) listing the names of halach uinics (Mayan rulers). Therefore, this may have been the residence of the great lords or at least members of the social elite. The date of 869 AD was also found among the carvings, suggesting Casa Colorada was constructed then. The structure is part of a complex in the South Group including the House of the Deer (or Hunt) and the House of Metates.
