Skulls that may have been intentionally deformed into the shape of hearts have been discovered among human remains at an archaeological site in Mexico.
Researchers from Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) made the unusual discovery at La Ferrería Archaeological Zone in Durango state—located in the lower northwest of the country.
During recent excavations at the site, archaeologists discovered the skeletal remains of 16 individuals within the Casa Colorada architectural complex.
The latest discovery, which was made under the floor of a plaza, includes the remains of eight adults aged between around 30 and 40 at the time of death. The remaining skeletons were of children aged between 1 and 7 years old.
Most of the skeletons are fragmented, although three of the adults were found in a good state of preservation.
