Sican priestess tomb found in Peru
Listeros,
The remains of a priestess at the Chotuna-Chornancap sites have been found. She died at age 25-30 and lived in the 13th century. She was from the Sican culture. Seven other individuals were buried with her, a llama and rich funerary offerings. The remains show her contact with other cultures, including cultures from Ecuador. Shells, gold, ceramics and a golden scepter with a Sican (Lambayeque) diety on it were among the offerings.
