"Right now Yale believes that it has clear title to them," says Barbara Shailor, deputy provost for the arts at Yale.
"Why do the artifacts belong back here in Peru?" asks historian Mariana Mould de Pease. "Because they were made here."
When Yale professor Hiram Bingham rediscovered Machu Picchu early last century, he carted thousands of pieces of pottery, jewelry, even bone fragments, back to Yale's campus in New Haven, Conn. Peru says it was a temporary arrangement for 18 months.
"The Peruvian government said, you take these artifacts because you want to do research," de Pease said. "The understanding was you give them back. That was in 1916."
