Ancient remains include broken and intentionally burned earthenware vessels and abstract human figures.
In Mexico, archaeologists discovered a layer of tools, equipment and otherworldly figures in an ancient ceramic layer more than three thousand years old. The artifacts remained untouched beneath the forest surface, although hundreds of thousands of people walked past the fragments of ceramic vessels and human figures every day, Ancient Origins wrote.
This place has already been mentioned – the Bosque de Chapultepec is one of the oldest in the Mexican basin. There are several ancient sites dating back to the Middle Preclassic period (1200-600 BC). The forest is administered by the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH).
Archaeologists discovered a layer of broken ceramic fragments less than a meter underground, near the Xochipilli Fountain and Composers Avenue in Chapultepec Forest.
Professor Maria de Lourdes López Camacho, who is the leader of the project, said that the archaeological layer was found only 700 meters from the Sakatenko site.
The finds also included sharp flint tools, arrowheads, spinning strands, and a punch of deer antler, all of which showed signs of extensive destruction. This means they are functional rather than ritual tools. Hundreds of broken plates were put back together. So their analysis recreated zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figures and faces. According to Dr. Camacho, one of the most commonly depicted forms are plump women with pygmy legs.
