 prev - home - next Provocatively, archaeologist Robert Sharer has pointed out that the square shield of K'inich Yax K'uk' Mo' on Altar Q covers what appears to be a stunted right arm. Buikstra also points out that the Hunal individual had suffered blunt trauma to the lower chest, which in healing had become distorted. This could have been produced by a large object such as a ballgame ball.

If seeing these remains today, comments Buikstra, one would think in terms of a pedestrian vehicle accident. |
