Peruvian archaeologists find ancient artefacts in legendary ancient city of Machu Picchu.
Archaeologists discovered some ancient artifacts last week in Machu Picchu, the world-renowned Inca city in southeast Peru.
The pieces were found buried below a three-walled patio known as a 'wayrana' in Quechua.
The discoveries include clay jugs, a ceremonial pot, 10 malachite beads, a bronze clasp, and carved stones.
[Carlos Werner Delgado, Archeologist at Cusco Office of Regional Culture]:
"This was an offering that was imported, perhaps by the Chimus themselves or by the Incas. We didn't find anything else apart from these objects."
The Chimu lived on the northern coast of Peru and were later conquered by the Incas around 1470 A.D.
[Carlos Werner Delgado, Archeologist at Cusco Office of Regional Culture]:
"The Incas, as we know, expanded to the north of the American continent, to the south, to the jungle and also to the sea. They had a policy of both integration and expansion, and managed in some way or another to conquer other peoples whether it was done peacefully or, in many cases, with violence."
Machu Picchu was rediscovered in 1911 by American explorer Hiram Bingham. It had been unknown to the outside world for over three centuries but is now one of the most famous sites in Peru.
