Archaeologists find likely tomb of Mayan queen

GUATEMALA CITY (AP) - Archaeologists say a stone jar found at burial chamber in northern Guatemala leads them to believe it is the tomb of a great Maya queen.

The team of U.S. and Guatemalan experts led by anthropologist David Freidel has also found other evidence, such as ceramic vessels and a large stone with carvings referring it as the burial site of Lady K'abel, considered the military governor of an ancient Maya city during the seventh century.

A statement Thursday from Guatemala's cultural ministry says the alabaster jar showed the head and arm of an aged woman and glyphs pointing to the name of the queen.
