The new discovery revealed the important role played by women in the oldest center of civilization in the Americas, researchers said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;What has been discovered corresponds to a woman who apparently had elevated status, an elite woman,&#8221; archaeologist David Palomino told AFP.<\/p>\n<p>The mummy was found in Aspero, a sacred site within the city of Caral that was a garbage dump for over 30 years until becoming an archaeological site in the 1990s.<\/p>\n<p>Palomino said the carefully preserved remains, dating to 3,000 years BC, contained skin, part of the nails and hair and was wrapped in a shroud made of several layers of fabric and a mantle of macaw feathers. Macaws are colorful birds that belong to the parrot family.<\/p>\n<p>The woman&#8217;s funerary trousseau, which was presented to reporters at the culture ministry, included a toucan&#8217;s beak, a stone bowl and a straw basket.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/28\/16845b7e-67b7-4211-ab3e-de0f74d659f2\/thumbnail\/620x349\/db605aa5aca0f62e5c758675e771b216\/peru-1155155-osamenta1.png?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc#\" alt=\"peru-1155155-osamenta1.png \" height=\"349\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/04\/28\/16845b7e-67b7-4211-ab3e-de0f74d659f2\/thumbnail\/620x349\/db605aa5aca0f62e5c758675e771b216\/peru-1155155-osamenta1.png?v=8e9dede207b29c97b32974c53e32aabc 1x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Archaeologists in Peru said they found the 5,000-year-old remains of a noblewoman at the sacred city of Caral, revealing the important role played by women in the oldest center of civilization in the Americas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Peru&#8217;s culture ministry<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&#8220;This is an exceptional burial due to the preservation of skin, hair, and nails, a rare condition in this area, where usually only skeletal remains are recovered,&#8221; Peru&#8217;s culture ministry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gob.pe\/institucion\/cultura\/noticias\/1155155-civilizacion-caral-descubren-entierro-de-una-mujer-de-elite-y-evidencias-de-las-relaciones-interculturales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">said in a news release<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Preliminary analyses indicate that the remains found in December belong to a woman between 20 and 35 years old who was about 5 feet tall, and wearing a headdress &#8212; made with bundles of twisted threads &#8212; that represented her elevated social status.<\/p>\n<p>Palomino told reporters the find showed that while &#8220;it was generally thought that rulers were men, or that they had more prominent roles in society&#8221; women had &#8220;played a very important role in the Caral civilization.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Caral society developed between 3000 and 1800 BC, around the same time as other great cultures in Mesopotamia, Egypt and China.<\/p>\n<p>The city is situated in the fertile Supe valley, around 115 miles north of Lima and 12 miles from the Pacific Ocean.<\/p>\n<p>It was declared a U.N.
