Archaeologists unearth burial of ancient settlers to the south of Mexico City
A 2,400 year-old burial site containing the remains of a dozen ancient settlers of Mexico's basin from the Preclassic period was discovered to the south of Mexico City, archaeologists said.
The discoveries were made by archaeologists from the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH). They were found some 1.5 meters (4.9 feet) deep at an excavation site in the grounds of the Pontifical University of Mexico.
INAH said in a news release that until now, ten skeletons have been identified. Two belong to young female and another to a male adult. The identified remains also include that of a three to five year-old toddler and a month-old baby. The rest of the found skeletons still need to be identified.
Archaeologists hope discoveries of this kind will shed new light on the first settles of the south of Mexico City.
