La exploración de las subestructuras arrojó mucha información acerca del edificio pero determinó también una nueva consolidación del mismo y por ello hoy sólo está accesible al público la última etapa.
This is talking about a Mayan pyramid that was the result of many building stages, each one superposed upon the earlier one. The substructures are not really "underneath" the building but inside the existing exterior of the pyramid.

Comment: "David, I checked with Margaesther who is a huge help to me with archaeology texts, and what she told me leads me to think that "determine" here was intended to mean to "necessitate". After digging in the substructure, it had to be reinforced (another meaning of consolidate), but that hasn't been done, so the public can't go in. Thanks to you and Lydia for answering!"
