1,000-year-old pre-Inca mummy discovered under a road in Peru

While laying gas pipes in Lima's Puente Piedra neighborhood, workers discovered a 1,000-year-old pre-Inca mummy just half a meter underground.

The remains, identified as a woman aged 20 to 30, were wrapped in a bundle that still had visible dark brown hair.

Alongside the body, archaeologists found nine ceramic vessels, including a painted bottle depicting a fisherman with a headdress, suggesting that the woman belonged to the Chancay culture, a coastal fishing society that flourished between 1000 and 1470 AD.

The discovery is part of an ongoing archaeological monitoring program by the national gas company Cálidda, which has recovered over 2,200 objects during infrastructure projects in Lima. /CNA
