A team of archaeologists from the Huaca
Pucllana in Miraflores discovered four tombs possibly the Ychsma culture. Were
three women and a grown man, they were buried in the main pyramid of the
archaeological site in Lima.
The bodies were located to the southeast,
in a seated position, wrapped in fabrics, baskets and ropes, all buried in the
Great Pyramid. The finding confirms that this structure was used as a burial
place for people considered elite. The characters found in the tombs ichmas
are squatting beside reed brackets that hold them in that position. The funeral
paraphernalia included pottery and textile tools such as punches and cactus
spines.
