Nearly 3,000-year-old human remains unearthed in El Salvador

Archaeologists in El Salvador discovered human remains estimated to be nearly 3,000 years old at an archaeological site in Antiguo Cuscatlan. The remains, dated to around 850 BC, were found face down along with a ceramic vessel and preserved cassava branches. The site may include burials similar to those at the Chalchuapa site, where 33 individuals were previously unearthed. The discovery includes 26 complete skeletons, four partial skeletons, and three isolated skulls, some showing signs of ritualistic treatment such as binding, mutilation, or decapitation. Radiocarbon dating and DNA analysis will further investigate the remains' origins and significance.
