Chiribaya culture, Archaeological site in southern Peru
The Chiribaya settlement extends across 220 kilometers of Pacific coastline, incorporating both maritime zones and agricultural areas along the Osmore and Tambo rivers.
The civilization developed between 700 CE and 1476 CE, establishing sophisticated irrigation systems and agricultural techniques in the challenging coastal environment of Peru.
Archaeological excavations have revealed intricate pottery, textiles, and tools that demonstrate the technical capabilities and artistic expressions of the Chiribaya people.
The site contains multiple burial grounds, agricultural terraces, and residential structures that researchers can access through designated pathways and excavation areas.
Archaeologists discovered 43 mummified dogs in a Chiribaya cemetery near Ilo, buried with blankets and food, indicating their importance in llama herding activities.
