TEXTO:
A joint Japanese-Peruvian archaeological mission
has uncovered the remains of a woman who they believe
was killed as a sacrifice, almost 3,000 years ago in Peru.
At close to 3,000 years old, scientists were amazed
[5] at how well preserved the remains were. The woman,
named the ‘Lady of Pacopampa’ after the site in the
northern highlands where she was found, stood at just
over one and a half meters tall.
She was discovered surrounded by gold necklaces,
[10] pendants and ceramics. Archaeologists were also
surprised to find jewelry made from seashells as the
site where she was found in the Andean Cajamarca region
is several hundred miles from the coast and there was
little previous evidence of trade between the two areas.
[15] Although the circumstances of her death are still
unclear, the Japanese researcher leading the dig, Yuji
Seki, said her bones were found in the fetal position
with the legs bound by a cord. He added that she
was between 30 and 40 years old when she died,
[20] considerably older than most mummified bodies found in
Peru.
Archaeologists believe the Pacopampa area where
she was found was an important ceremonial site,
contemporary with the better-known Chavin and
[25] Cupisnique cultures.
