Juliq' and B'omb'il Pek

Olla

Olla

Vessel from Juliq' on natural 3-stone hearth. It is the only whole vessel to have survived the looting of the cave as it is heavily fractured and only held together by the small stalagmites at its base. It has evidence of burning inside and below, an obsidian blade associated with it, and was "killed" by a small rock--a probable example of autosacrifice.
