  but 
  it 
  would 
  not 
  otherwise 
  fix 
  the 
  date 
  when 
  the 
  bones 
  were 
  

   deposited 
  here. 
  Their 
  exact 
  age 
  cannot

  In 
  regard 
  to 
  the 
  bones 
  of 
  lower 
  animals 
  accompanying 
  these 
  

   human 
  remains 
  : 
  it 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  an 
  ancient 
  and 
  common 
  

   practice, 
  in 
  this 
  part 
  of 
  Peru, 
  to 
  place 
  in 
  the 
  human

  showing 
  possible 
  changes 
  in 
  the 
  profile 
  of 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  

   the 
  cliff 
  where 
  bones 
  were 
  excavated 
  in 
  1911. 
  

  

  testimony 
  of 
  the 
  bones 
  can 
  be 
  relied 
  on, 
  a 
  dog's 
  entire 
  carcass. 
  

   There 
  is 
  no 
  reason 
  to 
  suppose 
  that 
  this 
  ancestral 
  custom 
  would 
  

   have 
  been 
  discontinued 
  until 
  long 
  after 
  the 
  introduction 
  of 
  

   European 
  domestic 
  animals 
  ; 
  and 
  accordingly 
  there 
  should 
  be 
  

   nothing 
  surprising 
  in 
  the 
  occurrence 
  of 
  beef 
  bones 
  in 
  human 
  

   graves, 
  either 
  with 
  or 
  without 
  bones 
  of 
  the 
  native 
  animals. 
  

   I 
  shall 
  have 
  occasion, 
  a 
  little 
  further 
  on 
  in 
  this 
  paper, 
  to 
  

   describe 
  a 
  grave 
  where 
  horse 
  bones 
  were 
  interred 
  with 
  the 
  

   human 
  remains.
