Stone Crosses with a Cuicuilco Burial
View through CrossRef
A recent article (Howard 1954) has described certain occurrences of cruciform artifacts in the Sierra Occidental from the Valley of Mexico to southern Arizona. The Valley of Mexico occurrence was reported in an earlier article (Haury 1945) which illustrates one of the objects (Fig. 2 x), and describes it as a “Cross (soft calcareous stone), Cuicuilco (Arizona State Museum collection, No. 13862)” (p. 61). I presume the specimen to be one found by Cummings during his excavations at the pyramid in 1924–25. The present article reports the discovery of 4 additional stone crosses at Cuicuilco in 1942.
