Archaeologists discovered a 2,800-year-old burial in El Salvador clutching a sea turtle vessel. This Mesoamerican burial may belong to a pre-Maya civilization which practiced human sacrifice. The skeleton was found under volcanic ash from an eruption dating to 850-830 BC. Cassava remnants found in the pit symbolize continuation and spiritual resonance. Further chemical analysis will reveal more about the individual's life and diet.
