Some locals in Mexico discovered strange bones in the ground after a lot of rain.
According to a news release from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History on August 28, it proved out to be a grave that was around 800 years old. The grave was discovered in Morelos next to the El Tlatoani Archaeological Zone entrance.
A woman's skeleton and many burial items were discovered during a five-day excavation, according to archaeologists.
Experts believe that the woman was buried with her head facing north and on her right side. Her fingers and toes were flexed, indicating that she had been packaged and wrapped.
Associated with the grave, a collection of ceramic fragments was also discovered, according to officials. The grave contained bowls and a figurine that resembled a human being that were dated to the Toltec Period, which lasted from 900 to 1200.
Archaeologists reported that the woman was buried beneath a home's floors based on evidence found at the location.
According to specialists, they discovered other, older items beneath the tomb. There were discovered several tripod bowls with extended supports that were made between 500 and 150 B.C.
These bowls and other pottery, according to archaeologists, are the earliest items discovered in the area, indicating that earlier peoples once lived there.
About 50 kilometers to the southeast of Mexico City is Morelos.
