dc.description.abstractMany scholars have emphasized that the preceramic Chinchorro fishers of southern Peru and northern Chile had the oldest system of artificial mummification in the world (Bittmann and Munizaga 1976; Allison et al. 1984; Arriaza 1995a). Although this is interesting, the anthropological significance of the Chinchorro society and its mummies has greater relevance.
