Deep in the cave we see ceremonial bowls that the Mayans offered to the their gods as a sacrifice. All of the artifacts have been left were they were discovered. This is one of the few bowls that was left hole. The chip on the rim was to release the offering, often the bowls were smashed for the same reason.
Humans were also scarified for offerings. In this part of the cave there are six human remains. This one has been crystallized by the dripping minerals of the cave. Dated at about 600 AD.
