The excavations produced more valuable relics, he said, than similar work in the Mayan ruins in. Yucatan. The tomb, tiocated at Monte Alban, contained among other things the bodies of 10 Mixtecae warriors, cov- ered with mementos of gold, jade pearl, amethyst and alabaster; spine of which were finely carved and of area': beauty. The chiefs apparently were killed in battle, be said, and were buried With all their wealth in greet -secrecy during a bloody conflict with the Zapotecan people, .who eventually ivt'estled their land from them. . Three Zapotecen vases were found broken at the entrance to the mauso- leum but all the other finds were in- tact in spite of the great damage caused by earthquakes in Oaxaca for centuries. Among the valuables uncovered were.several crowns of puree gold, beautifully wrought relics ictf gold, pearls as large as pigeon eggs, jade necklaces, rings of gold and precious stones, vases of gold, rock crystals, onyx and alabaster, engraved with 3heiroglyphios, and a golden mask de- scribed as the niost unique and valu, ale!e thing of its kind ever founds.
