Museo Casa del Mendrugo in Puebla, Mexico
Archaeologists excavating a colonial mansion in Puebla uncovered a 3,500-year-old burial, including a woman dubbed 'Chuchita.' The remains anchor a museum that also houses a donated collection from a local man, revealed only after his death, from a remote Oaxacan town that preserved ancient customs into the 20th century.
