Listeros,

Since this is such a short news item from Living in Peru, I will re- 
print the whole article below;


(LIP-ir) -- It was announced today that a group of pyramids belonging  
to the Vicús Culture were found by workers doing clean-up work in  
Piura. Archaeologists from Peru's Institute for Culture (INC) were  
immediately informed and confirmed the pyramids were a religious area  
or a cemetery for Vicús Culture elite.

The archaeological complex consists of six pyramids - two large  
pyramids and four smaller ones. It was reported that a high  
concentration of vestiges have been found in one of the larger  
pyramids as well as bone fragments and a human skull.

It is believed an important member of the Vicús Culture is buried 25  
meters (82 feet) underground. A platform, where it is believed  
ceremonies took place, has been found next to one of the larger  
pyramids.
