1,000-year-old pre-Inca mummy discovered just half a metre below a street in Lima

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 in a headdress - suggesting the woman belonged to the Chancay culture, a coastal fishing society that thrived between 1000 and 1470 AD.
