In the Late Postclassic Chunchukum complex there is a predominance of Nuvula group ceramics, and a very few slipped sherds. The Late Postclassic Navula Unslipped is found in abundance across the site; in addition, certain specific (ceremonial) locations produced mostly Chen Mul Modeled censer sherds, as may be seen in the case of test pit 25.

The Navula group supplies a range of dishes, bowls, and large jars forms for this time period, as well as the fancifully-made Chen Mul Modeled censers. At Muyil, as elsewhere, these censers are often found associated with small shrines and temples in ceremonial settings. They are abundant along the eastern portion of the sacbe system at Muyil.
