La ofrenda que acompañaba a este personaje se compone de
alrededor de una veintena de vasijas cerámicas tanto domésticas
como suntuarias, algunas de ellas aparentemente conteniendo
alimentos (se registraron dos semillas de frijol carbonizado).
Además se le atavió con un collar formado por cuentas tubulares y
una punta de proyectil en proceso de elaboración. English:Burial 18 The Decapitated Man
