Lima. Los restos de ocho personas de unos 800 años de antigüedad, enterradas con alimentos e instrumentos musicales en una misma cámara funeraria, fueron hallados al sur de Lima durante la instalación de tuberías de gas natural, informó este miércoles una investigadora.

“Hemos hallado los restos de ocho habitantes del pueblo de Chilca, de 800 años de antigüedad, enterrados a manera de fardos funerarios”, aseguró Cecilia Camargo, una arqueóloga contratada por la empresa de distribución de gas natural Cálidda.
