The Chinchorro mummies are naturally and artificially preserved human remains associated with the Chinchorro culture, an Indigenous people who lived along the Pacific coast of what is now northern Chile and southern Peru. The oldest known naturally preserved Chinchorro individual dates to about 7020 BCE, while deliberate mummification began by about 5050 BCE, making the Chinchorro mummies the oldest known examples of purposefully preserved human bodies in the world. The Chinchorro artificially preserved men, women and children from across their communities rather than restricting elaborate funerary treatment to a social elite. Their methods included reconstructing and reinforcing bodies, mo…

CHARACTERIZING THE MICROMORPHOLOGY OF SEDIMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH CHINCHORRO MUMMIFICATION IN ARICA, CHILE USING SEM AND EDS. We use scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy‐dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) to analyse clay sediments used during the mummification process of Chinchorro mummies from northern Chile. The significance of this study is that no prior work has characterized the sediment used by the Chinchorro during mortuary preparation and this approach offers a necessary preliminary step towards identifying modern equivalents for the materials used by the Chinchorro. Understanding the unique characteristics of this material may also help understand why they are so well preserved a…
