an earthquake in a canyon uncovers a subterranean man-made chamber, where an arthritic skeleton showing signs of good nutrition is buried. she was probably in middle age or younger when she died. her ankle is fractured. the chamber is filled with statuettes of half-human amalgams, regarded as ravenous, especially towards human flesh, in this ancient culture. there are also several urns, one containing a bear's heart. a wooden cane is found snapped in half, the symbology of which is unknown.
