MEXICO CITY — Archaeologists digging in a ruined pyramid in downtown Mexico City said Tuesday that they found a mass grave that may hold the skeletal remains of the Aztec holdouts who fought conquistador Hernán Cortes.
The unusual burial holds the carefully arrayed skeletons of at least 49 adult Indians who were buried in the remains of a pyramid razed by the Spaniards during the 1521 conquest of the Aztec capital.
The pyramid complex, in the city’s Tlatelolco square, was the site of the last Indian resistance to the Spaniards during the months-long battle for the city.
