2,500-year-old burials of 3 people discovered in a cave in Mexico

Archaeologists find ancient human remains in a cave in the Mexican state of Nuevo León.

The 2,500-year-old burials of three people, buried with a variety of grave goods, have been discovered inside a cave in northeastern Mexico.

An analysis of the skeletal remains revealed that two of the people were adolescents and one was a baby, Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) said in a translated statement. Remnants of basketry, textiles and fibers were found alongside the human remains — a clue that the dead may have been buried in bundles made of those materials in what is now the Mexican state of Nuevo León, the statement said.
