Aztatlan artifacts found in Sinaloa

[Mike R]

Listeros,

Three 1000 year old urns with offerings placed in them, including
canine figures and burnt shells have been found in Sinaloa. This
represents the first artifacts of the Aztatlan culture found in
Sinaloa. The urns date to 900-1200 CE. The Aztatlan culture settled in
Nayarit, Colima, Sinaloa and Jalisco. Their characteristic pottery was
red or orange with black stripes and their funerary urns. The
representation of animal designs is something new. Human bones were
found in the urns and scattered outside as well. They appear to have
been boiled as part of a funerary ritual. There were canine symbols on
some of the pottery near the urns, and this connotes animal companions
for the dead.

INAH has the report here (in Spanish) with a slide show (click on the
