The US has returned about 20 ancient artefacts - some more than 1,800 years old - to Peru. The objects were found during four separate investigations over several years by US the customs service.
The objects include pottery and pieces looted from ancient Peruvian graves dating back from before the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th Century.
