BURIAL GROUNDS at Pachacamac are littered with thousands of skulls and 

 skeletons excavated during recent centuries. Even so a previously untouched 

 grave is found occasionally, as below. The ancient burial mat, woven in the 

 shape of an urn closed at the top, contained three skeletons, apparently those 

 of parents and child. Fine fabric wrappings were still partly intact.
