While laying gas pipes in Lima's Puente Piedra neighborhood, workers discovered a 1,000-year-old pre-Inca mummy just half a meter underground.

The remains, identified as a woman aged 20 to 30, were wrapped in a bundle that still had visible dark brown hair.

Alongside the body, archaeologists found nine ceramic vessels, including a painted bottle depicting a fisherman with a headdress, suggesting that the woman belonged to the Chancay culture, a coastal fishing society that flourished between 1000 and 1470 AD.
