Archaeologists in Peru have uncovered the skeletal remains of an adult believed to have been placed as a ritual offering more than 1,300 years ago.
The remains were discovered at Huaca Pucllana, a pre-Hispanic ceremonial and administrative centre in the heart of modern-day Lima.
The body was found inside an underground ceremonial canal, lying on its left side with its skull tilted westward towards the sea and a mud pyramid within the complex.
