By the way, a cautionary tale

If you find a bunch of bones that are A: untouched and B: supernaturally clean, there is definitely a reason for both of those things. Sometimes that reason is ants. Sometimes those ants are fire ants. Sometimes those fire ants have made a nest over the entire three meter area around those bones

Sounds like someone had an adventure with fire ants

So, apart from the fact that I’d fully expect those strangely clean bones to be a trap of some kind, here is an excellent and totally not paranoid reason to avoid touching things that look like a trap-shaped trap with trap written on a helpful sign nearby.
