A number of artefacts have been discovered within the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan in Mexico.
Making full use of existing tunnels excavated by archaeologists in the 1930s, researchers were able to unearth a host of new finds including a greenstone mask, projectile heads and small knives. It is thought that the 11cm mask might be a portrait of someone due to its unusual size.The offering also contained eleven Tlaloc vessels, (dedicated to the God of Rain) most of them broken, placed in the middle of the whole deposit. Further objects include three pyrite discs, one with a 45 cm diameter and mounted on a slate slab – the largest ever recovered from Teotihuacan.
