LIMA, PERU—Andina reports that four ceramic bottles and a small bird-shaped jug were uncovered in the northeastern corner of Huaca la Palma, the main building at the Maranga Archaeological Complex. The pottery is thought to date between A.D. 1470 and 1532, and to have been crafted by the Ychsma culture, which occupied river valleys close to Peru’s central coastline.
