Mexico archeologists uncover 800-year-old skeletons
CHOLULA, Mexico: Archeologists in central Mexico uncovered the bones of 12 children and adults who may have been buried 800 years ago, a National Institute of Anthropology and History expert told AFP.
The skeletons were discovered as the archeologists supervised the installation of a new drain in an old neighborhood of Cholula, a city located 120 kilometers north of the Mexican capital.
The first skull was found at the site on December 8 and by Thursday, the experts had identified the remains of 12 individuals.
They were found buried just a few centimeters below a paved section of asphalt, said archeologist Ashuni Romero Butron, who added "fortunately they were not damaged by erosion before the paving."
