Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
In 2010, the archaeological research project in the Los Huacos area of Hualmay discovered a funerary bundle that was named "The Weaver of Hualmay". It is believed that it corresponds to an adult woman, since associated with the bundle there was a reed basket filled with spinning tools, needles and cotton, among other items for textile production. The study will involve the application of a medical imaging technique in order to obtain the biological profile, thus, creating the first set of this kind of data related to the pre-Hispanic Hualmay weaving community.
