Archeologists find tomb for nobility

A group of archaeologists found a pre-Columbian tomb containing well-preserved human remains, ceramics and jewelry near Peru’s northern coast that could shed new light on the ancient Moche Indian culture.

The site in Ucupe – about 416 miles from Lima – may be related to other important Moche ruins in the area, including the famed Lords of Sipan tomb dating to 200 AD that was excavated in the late 1980s, dig co-director Bruno Alva said.
