Excavations in the North Plaza at Comalcalco also yielded a series of funerary urns (giant clay jars). Inside each of these jars was the body of an individual in a sitting position, accompanied by rich offerings. Grave goods from these jars included ceramic pots, clay figurines and jewelry, shell earrings, shark teeth, carved animal bones, and obsidian and flint knives.
