Overview
- Workers installing gas lines on Calle Los Robles in San Isidro uncovered the burial a block from the Huaca Huallamarca site.
- Osteological analysis now indicates the individual was a subadult estimated at 15–20 years old, recovered in a seated position with flexed legs.
- The grave was capped with cobbles and included three vessels characteristic of the style: a globular bottle with conical base, a neckless olla, and a larger jar.
- Work paused under heritage-protection protocols supervised by the Ministry of Culture, with four days of documentation completed and materials headed to laboratory analysis.
- Cálidda presented the discovery publicly on Feb. 17 in San Isidro and reports more than 2,300 prior archaeological recoveries, along with a 2025 sustainability award for heritage stewardship.
