Archaeologists have found the skeletal remains of dozens of huge mammoths at a construction site outside Mexico City.
Preserving the unique history of the La Brea Tar Pits
Researchers are still studying the bones at the airport site and don't yet know how many complete skeletons they've found, said Pedro Francisco Sánchez Nava, national archeology coordinator at the INAH, according to the statement. A team of about 30 archaeologists and other specialists has been working at the site since specimens were first found in October, he said.
They also found the remains of 15 people, who were buried during the pre-Hispanic period. Some were buried with pots bowls and clay figurines. The artifacts may be preserved in a museum proposed by the INAH, the institute said. Their discovery will not interfere with the construction of the airport, which will serve Mexico City, said Salvador Pulido Méndez of the INAH.
