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.
