The necklace was found in association with an approximately 60 year-old adult male, around whom had been buried several dozen headless human individuals of different sexes and ages, the likely victims of ritual sacrifice. The necklace was made from about 200 carpometacarpus bones of a small bird species that remains to be identified.222.14 KBPDFenAll Rights Reservedarchaeological sitesceremonial activitiesAcari ValleyPeruArticle
