The burial is that of a high status woman which took place over 5,000 years ago. She was found wrapped in multiple layers of cotton fabric and rush mats and wore a feather headdress. This headress was made of macaw feathers and is the oldest known feather work. Along with her were funerary goods such as weaving tools, a bone needle and sweet potatoes. <br><a href="https://arkeonews.net/5000-year-old-burial-of-high-status-woman-with-feathered-mantle-unearthed-in-ancient-caral/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arkeonews.net/5000-year-old-bu</span><span class="invisible">rial-of-high-status-woman-with-feathered-mantle-unearthed-in-ancient-caral/</span></a></p>
