Images from an old place

A little something from an idle Saturday morning.
Today's EPOD is a repeat of an old one: First link
Almost 3000 years ago the folks that are believed to have walked there from the Bering strait made this bottle.  It has the face of a cat (and maybe a hawk for a nose): Second link
But they were best known for woven goods including this detail from a sash.  Wowsa!:  Third link

Again I am sorry that this (what I consider an interesting) subject is proving so difficult to find and comment on.

https://smarthistory.org/paracas-textiles-introduction/A Desert Necropolis in PeruAt around the same time that Chavín culture flourished in the highlands, the Paracas peninsula on the southern coast of Peru witnessed the rise of a new society of farmers and fishermen. The Paracas culture (c. 700 B.C.E.–200 C.E.) is best known not for its monumental architecture, but for what lay buried below the ground: a necropolis of hundreds of miraculously preserved mummy bundles. The Paracas mummies were buried in two different types of burial chambers. The Paracas Cavernas (cavern) pits were small bottle-shaped shaft tombs, while the Paracas Necropolis crypts were large mausoleums fitted with masonry walls.

 Located within these tombs were mummy bundles wrapped in sumptuous embroidered textiles, some reaching up to four feet in circumference. The textiles ranged in quality from rough swaths of undecorated cloth to finely embroidered mantles. Mummies were also buried with offerings of food and jewelry to accompany the deceased into the afterlife. The types of textiles and offerings associated with a mummy bundle shed light on the individual’s social status; the larger and more elaborate the bundle, the higher social standing the person held during his or her life.Paracas textiles provide some of the most stunning examples of pre-Columbian Andean fiber art. Close examination of Paracas textiles reveals a great deal of information on the sophisticated embroidery techniques developed by Paracas artists, their system of textile production, and their belief systems.

Re: Images from an old place

But can anyone tell me how long you have to be buried before the people who dig you up are scientists and not grave robbers?
