Archeological discoveries in Peru appear to be pretty common nowadays. That or they’re getting more publicity. Including your post, there have several recent finds around Machu Picchu. One in the face of a cliff in “plain sight”.
Check out www.peruthisweek.com , they appear to stay on top of such news...plus more.
Saludos...

Ancient offerings - including pottery, stones, and a ceremonial pot - were found in Machu Picchu during an archeological excavation this week, local media reported.

The artifacts are though to have been made in the 15th century, during the time of Inca Pachacutec, and the ceremonial pot is thought to have been made between the 10th and 12th century, during the Chimu period. The remains were found 70 centimeters beneath the ground, El Comercio reported.

Maybe the Incas had their own Antiques Roadshow.
