In a recent archeological excavation in the state of Tabasco, some 116 Mayan burials were discovered, 66 of which were deposited in funeral ballot boxes while the rest were scattered around the urns.
Archeologists at the National Institute of Anthropology and History, who were involved in this excavation, believe the finding could be a pre-Hispanic Mayan cemetery.
The funeral deposits were found underneath three mounds in the area that had been devastated previously by agricultural activities.
