An ancient settlement, potentially dating back over 1,300 years, has been uncovered in Mexico.

Archaeologists from Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) made this remarkable discovery in the Costa Grande region of Guerrero state, located along the Pacific coast in the southwest of the country.

Spread across approximately 29 hectares (72 acres) of communal land, the settlement’s existence was brought to light when locals alerted researchers to the presence of several mounds, believed to be of pre-Hispanic origin.

Over a three-day surface survey, INAH researchers documented 26 minor mounds, with an additional aerial overview of the site, Newsweek reported.
