Listeros,

A funerary bundle of a 14-16 year old person has been uncovered at  
Torontoy in Machu Picchu. It was found in a perpheral platform site  
undergoing restoration.

In an update to the find, it was revealed that the burial of the 14-15  
year old man was in the same spot as an earlier burial find of a 30-35  
year old man. It would appear that the burials took place during the  
Spanish conquest in a hasty way without following strict Inca  
guidelines. The Inca in the area fled to the Cusco jungle where the  
last 4 Inca rulers took refuge for 40 years. The burials were sealed  
before the Inca fled.
