Archaeological work at the foot of the Great Temple of the Aztecs, in downtown Mexico City, uncovered an unusual burial: a young wolf, surrounded by golden artifacts, in a stone coffin. The golden finds are an interesting mix of items one would normally find decorating a human Aztec warrior, from ear and nose ornaments to a piece of body armor known as a pectoral. The offering was buried during the reign of Ahuitzotl (1486–1502), a period of war and great imperial expansion for the Aztecs.
