Abstract excerpt

Vibrant feathers from Amazonian parrots were among the most prestigious symbols of status in the pre-Hispanic Andes, yet their acquisition required traversing the formidable Andean mountain range. Here, we investigate feathers recovered from an intact, elite masonry tomb at the coastal religious center of Pachacamac, associated with the pre-Inca Ychsma culture that flourished during the Late Intermediate Period...
