Figure 7. The church at Tipu. The pho<strong>to</strong> looks northeast.<br />
Although church plans show common themes, particularly in the case of the early<br />
churches, Lamanai’s <strong>to</strong>wn plan differs from that of Tipu. Perhaps not<br />
surprisingly, the Lamanai community was strung out along the edge of the<br />
lagoon. The churches were built on a ridge overlooking the lagoon, with the<br />
colonial residential structures (e.g., Str. N11-18) lying about 350-400m north of<br />
the church zone (Figure 8), whereas Tipu's plan was more concentrated with the<br />
church bordering one of the sides of the community's main plaza (Figure 9).
