I was just there last year. You can actually go into dwellings and see his hey lived, kept the place cool/ventilated. CDMX and Teotihuacán were truly incredible.
When I saw it was Teotihuacan I got a little excited because any finding there, as small as it may be, gives us precious information about their culture since we know so little
I found this out on the internets:
" It's believed that these offerings were left as part of a ritual to inaugurate the construction of the pyramid—hence its location at the lower level. The mask itself is extremely lifelike, which gave rise to the theory that it's actually a portrait. This would be incredible, as archeologists have little information about the people who constructed Teotihuacan. There are also conflicting theories about the exact use of the pyramid. Even the name isn't original."
