Archaeologists have unearthed the skeletal remains of four people who were buried in Peru's Viru Valley about 3,800 years ago, millennia before the Incas flourished in the region.
The burials of two children, a teenager and an adult were found in the remains of what is likely a temple, the archaeologists said in a translated statement. All four individuals were found lying on their sides and appear to face a mountain, the statement said. The remains of funerary goods, such as stone pendants and snail shells, were found with the deceased.
