.. Archaeological Centre of Pacopampa is located in the mountains and communication with the coast, at that time, was not so ordinary,' said Seki.

Seki said the woman might have been subjected to a mortuary rite as burned containers were found next to her remains, and she was buried in a fetal position with her legs tied with a cord, which was also found in the tomb despite the passage of almost three millennia.

The investigations of the tomb and the region indicate that the inhabitants of Pacopampa lived at the same time as the pre-Incan Chavin and Cupisnique cultures, although they did not have any contact with them.

The investigative work in Pacopampa is being conducted by archaeologists from Japan's Ethnology Museum and Peru's San Marcos University.
