Important Cave Finds in Chihuahua
INAH Archaeologists in Chihuahua have investigated a cave where an infant
skeleton, the lower half of a man whose ankles were tied, and the remains of
a scarlet macaw along with points, textiles, a sea shell, a bag of deer
skin. The remains were naturally mummified by the dry desert air. The finds
possibly date to 2000 years ago. The site is 250 miles from Paquime, which
was a trading hub between Mesoamerica and the Ancestral Puebloans. The finds
suggest the site pre-dates Paquime, which was founded around 1,300 years
ago. The discovery of a scarlet macaw that pre-dates Paquime may show that
long distance trade in exotic goods predate Paquime.
