A new study of nearly 200 threaded vertebrae artifacts from Peru reveal they were likely created as a way to reconstruct community burials that were looted during Spanish rule some 500 years ago
The first systematic analysis of nearly 200 enigmatic artifacts from a Peruvian valley reveal they were likely created as a way to reconstruct community burials that were looted during Spanish rule some 500 years ago., focuses on human vertebrae threaded on sticks, hundreds of which have been found near and inside elaborate tombs known as chullpas in Peru’s Chincha valley, about 120 miles south of Lima. This coastal region was once the heartland of the Chincha Kingdom, which ruled from about A.
A careful visual analysis of the objects showed that in one case the vertebrae of two people—an adult and a juvenile—had been threaded onto the same stick, possibly by accident. But Bongers thinks most were an attempt to restore the spine of a distinct individual. “It speaks to a long-term engagement with the dead,” Bongers said. “They’re trying to reconstruct their dead; they’re picking up the pieces of their dead, and trying to put them back together.”
“These are found in multiple mortuary sites, so presumably multiple groups are interacting,” he said. “And they’re deeming this an appropriate response to what we think was looting.”
