Residue analysis yielded trace blood residues on inside surfaces of four vessels of the Ventaron ceramic type from the Maya site of Copn, Honduras. Microscopy, biochemical detection of the heme subunit of hemoglobin/myoglobin and an immunological test all confirm the presence of blood. This identification supports the hypothesis that the Ventaron vessel type was used for blood ritual purposes during the Classic period
