[Aztlan] Skeletal discoveries at Tula

[michael ruggeri]

Listeros,

A Pre-Hispanic burial of 2 skeletons, 7 vases, casts and polishers has  
been found near the Tula archaeological zone by municipal workers. The  
discovery dates to 900-1100 CE. It has been theorized that there was a  
potters' neighborhood near the ceremonial center. The skeletons were  
in fetal position oriented to the east. 7 hump type vessels, some flat  
bowls, a shell necklace, casts, polishers, crushers, burnt ceramic  
fragments were found. The skulls had 4 drill holes. 24 children found  
near the same area in 2007 had the same orifices. These were the  
result of the use of trepanation to heal blood clots or strong  
headaches. And perhaps this was an emblem of potters.
