THE PRINCELY

TOMB

In August 2014, we discovered the extraordinary tomb we have already mentioned, number 38 of La Almoloya. Most of the grave goods were silver objects, a few were made of gold and others of copper or bronze. Furthermore, there were necklaces made of beads of various materials, pottery vessels and offerings of beef from cattle. This wealth of materials usually defines royal burials in archaeology.
