U.S. border agents find rare artifacts
The archaeologists believe the pots are hundreds of years old but still haven’t determined their exact age or who made them. That could take a year or more.
What they do know is that the discovery of the pots was a rare and unusual find.
. . .
Sitting on the surface in sandy soil, they had been undisturbed since they were carefully placed there by human hands.
What’s more, the pots were discovered not by archaeologists digging through ruins, but by U.S. Border Patrol agents looking for signs of illegal immigrants hiding in the mountains.
