Listeros,
The recently discovered Maya altar found in the Yucatan recently will
be re-located when it is reconstructed. The 200 stones that made up
the altar have been registered for re-building. The stones show that
there was an occupation of that place from 250 CE to 900 CE. 2
skeletons have also been found, also a metate, and limestone and flint
artifacts and mollusks. The mapping of the site will continue to
completion and then the highway will be built over the possible site
unfortunately.
