Guatemala finds hundreds of pre-Hispanic artifacts in U.S. couple's house

Over 1,200 Mayan antiques were found at the house of two U.S. citizens in Guatemala, authorities said on Thursday, days after the same couple was arrested and later released for stealing historical artifacts.

Authorities on Wednesday found 722 archaeological pieces in various sizes and materials at the Antigua Guatemala home of Allison Jolluck and Giorgio Salvidor Rossilli, as well as 500 smaller pieces, following an investigation for crimes against Guatemala's cultural heritage.

Neither Jolluck nor Rossilli were available for comment.
