Listeros,

The Honduras Archaeological Institute received two jade and iron  
pyrite coated jaws of two elite Maya. The jaws were sent anonymously  
to the Honduran Embassy in the Netherlands. They are from the Maya  
site of Copan it was determined by researchers at Leiden University.  
Strontium Isotope analysis of the teeth showed the tooth enamel in the  
jaws  were consistent with ratios in the Copan River.
