It seemed they ritually smashed the vessels and placed just the faces of the gods with the bodies. not just the bird god, but monkeys and others too. no mention of metal artifacts that I saw, also weird because that was one of their key technologies.

I'm off to search the twitter to see if any of the site members are tweeting updates...
