Listeros,

10 human skeletons and a ceramic oven have been found in the Tamtok  
Archaeological Zone in the Huastec region proving that Tamtok had 3  
stages of occupation between 600 BCE and 1500 CE. The skeletons were  
found where the structure known as Monolith 32 is located.

They were placed in a sitting position under cones made from river  
pebbles. 8 of them were between 16-17,  a young boy between 5-7 and a  
34 year old adult. All had cranial and dental deformations and some  
had greenstone earrings.

Polishers, obsidian arrow heads and ceramics were also found.  
Investigation will continue.
