PYRAMID OF THE
PLUMED SERPENT
BURIAL

Reproduction of Burial No. 5.
Located to the rear (the eastern
side) of the Temple of the Plumed
Serpent. Nine individuals were
found in this pit. They were
victims of sacrifice and had their
hands tied to their backs. An
important aspect of the dress of
those sacrificed were the necklaces
made of human jawbones, real
or imitations made of shell, and
the slate disks placed at the
height of the coccyx.
