MEXICO CITY—Mexico has received 280 pre-Hispanic archaeological pieces that were in the United States, amid efforts by authorities to recover part of the country’s cultural heritage, the Mexican government said.
The pieces are at the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) in Mexico City where they will be studied and cataloged, the government said in a statement on Tuesday evening. They will eventually join INAH’s permanent collection of movable archaeological assets.
