| Summary: | Archaeological fieldwork carried out in July 2002 on Terrace East at El Castillo site, Santa Valley, resulted in the discovery of a child burial wrapped in many textiles. One of them is unique. It represents a harvest scene of the plant identified as the manioc or yucca. The archaeological context indicates a Moche Phase III date for the burial based of the content of the fill between plastered clay floors from over and under the tomb. Description of the textile’s context is followed by a discussion of its nature and possible implications on Moche economy. |
