Excerpt from Archaeological Researches on the Frontier of Argentina and Bolivia in 1901 1902: A Preliminary Report Dedicated to the 14th International Congress of Americanists at Stuttgart 1904 I succeeded in collecting a fairly large number of spe cimens of Skeletons, both of adults and children. Professor Retzius is at precent studying them, and he informs me that all the heads from here bear evidence of having been artificially deformed to a greater or less extent. The hairs upon them are coal-black, coarse but not very stiff. Round one of the heads there was a curious bandage of llama wool. The body, to which this skull belongs, was wrapt round in two woven mantles, one of a very delicate texture, worked in a strange pattern and of an exceedingly pretty colour, the other coarser and very thick. The finer one is probably of vicufia wool and was woven in a peculiar manner whereby the threads were made to follow the pattern. Consequently the threads in some places are very closely packed together, in others wider apart. The coarser mantle is of llama wool. Close to the skin of the dead body I found remnants of a garment of some thin material, originally white in colour. As already mentioned, in the majority of cases articles had been deposited in the graves with the dead bodies; as a rule these articles consisted of a bowl, some corncobs and a cup, which at the time of the burial was probably filled with water, as is the custom to this day among the Cborotes indians. Some graves, however, were more plentifully supplied with similar articles, as small cups of burnt clay, clay bottles with painted ornamentation, a small red clay bottle of a beautiful shape and of a fine material, a clay bowl with a handle in the shape of an animal's head. At the bottom of this bowl there is a black cross, painted, and with arms of equal size. Some corncobs were found in the bowl. In one grave two cups of exactly the same size and appearance were found, cut out of one piece of a hard kind of wood (pl. IX, Fig. The exterior is richly adorned with engraved orna ments. The discovery so far from the sea of some shells of marine mussels, probably used as spoons, is remarquable. In these graves were further found: a bone case containing cactus prickles, used doubtless in tattooing, as is still the case among the Cborotes; an instrument ﬂattened like a spoon at one end; some of the so called llama bits; it is possible that the objects in question were actually used for that purpose, but if so, I presume that they were not placed in the animal's mouth, but across its nose, for I have not been able to discover any trace of wear by the teeth on any of the numerous Specimens I have come across. On one of the of the same description, there is a rein Of llama wool fastened to it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
