Some archaeologists describe Peru’s capital as an onion with many layers of history, others consider it a box of surprises.
“We are recovering those leaves of the lost history of Lima that is just hidden under the tracks and streets,” Jesus Bahamonde, an archaeologist at Calidda, the company that distributes natural gas in the city of 10 million people, said Friday.
The number of relics isn't surprising. The area that is now Lima has been occupied for more than 10,000 years by pre-Inca cultures, then the Inca Empire itself and then the colonial culture brought by the Spanish conquerors in 1535. Archaeologist Roberto Quispe, who worked in the trench, said the funeral bundles probably hold two adults and six minors.

Southern Copper sees Peru output hitting 400 000 t this yearSouthern Copper, controlled by Grupo Mexico, expects its production of the red metal in Peru to bounce 17% this year to 400 000 metric tons, a senior executive told Reuters, driving the firm's overall output growth. The mining firm, Peru's third largest copper producer, saw its copper output slide to 342 000 tons last year from just over 398 000 tons the year before as operations at its Cuajone mine were paralyzed by almost two months of community protests. These have cooled this year despite ongoing political tension.
