All of these women were buried in the same
manner. They were obviously maidens, to Judge
from the dressing of the hair No children were
found among them-all were adults. one of the
skulls showing gray hair nearly white. The eyes
had apparently dried up when closed. Faint traces

Another important point that the shapes
of the skulls showed that the women came from
various parts of Peru, not alone from the vicinity
OF Pachacamac
AVING established the cause of DEATH DR..
Il Uhle then went into the matter of why
these women were strangled. The idea of punish
ment at once suggested itself One authority had
stated that women in the converts of the Incas,
the Virgins of the Sun, were buried alive when
they snned against the laws of chastity. Strangu-
lation might also have been punishment, but
would not have been followed by-bural in sacred
ground.
Therefore, reasoned Dr. Uhle these women
were sacrifices.
It may be well to remark here that while the
Incas and other early Peruvians had no writing,
laws and ethics were handed down tradtionally
by the priests from one to another. When the

ground The solution of the "crime" was his prob
lem
At first, with the scientist working as a cor
oner or medical examiner, instead of an archaeoo-
glst the evidence of the autopsies weighed
How was it known that these women stran-
ged?
The first evidence was the unnatural thinness
of the necks of the mummifed bodies. In every
case, each neck had been drawn into a diameter
of two inches or less Then the scalp in its dried
state covered the lower opening of the skull and
this was only possible if the neck had been diso-
Gated before death.
Again. in several cases. vertebrae found
in distorted position beneath and in back of the
lower jaw-bone, the skin below being tightly
drawn in. In each there found a cloth
tightly drawn about the neck.
1t might be argued that these neckerchiefs,
drying during the centuries, had contracted, and
caused the reduction of the diameter of the neck
YSars after death.
However, the cloths in all cases fitted closely
so it plain that drying did not cause the reduc-
ton of thickness in the necks.
Again the cloths were all tied in back with
hard knot Neckerchiefs are never tied in the
back
And further to quote Dr. Uhle's medical
examiners report" "a most convincing proof that
the cloth was used for the purpose of strangula-
ton and not for neckerchief is, that in front i'm
medatcly in the center, is tied another hard knot,

Spaniards conquered the country, many able
writer's came with them, and these early writer's
in the few decades after the conquest, while tradi
tons yet fresh in the minds of priests of the
old order set much of this down in writing.
These accounts are rich source material for
the archaeologist and scientist but he must care
fully check and compare them.
Some authorities have held that the Incas
abolished human sacrifice among the people con-
quered by them. DR.. Uhle however called atten-
ton to the falsty of this statement The Incas did
not abolish human sacrifice, but regulated it by
legislation. DR.. Uhle says
"Whe formerly each tribe could kill it's
own sacrifices the right to do this passed over to
the Inca exclusively Whenever the Inca wished
to make high sacrifice in order to propitiate an
offended god upon the advice of sorcerers he
would order a few human beings to be sacrificed
to these gods and without his orders it was not
permitted to make human Sacrifices.
1t may be well to here remember that the
"Inca" was the ruler or prince himself, although
the term Inca" has come to be popularity applied
TO the whole people. In the strictest sense
however the Inca" is the ruler.

Since adult sacrifices were not common in the
provinces, the fact that adult virgins sacr-
feed at Pachacamac shows the great Importance
of the temple An early writer set down the fol-
lowing taken from of the priests after
the Spanish conquest: Inca Tupaj asked Pacha-
kamaj, the god what kind of sacrifice would be
acceptable to him, whereupon the god sent him
the reply that he should sacrifice to him great
quantity of blood of human beings or llamas."
1t will be remembered that DR.. Uhle found
that the skulls of the sacrificed women showed
variety of differences, especially in comparison
to the graves of the common people about Pach-
acamac. He found the reason for this.
The Incas required that every year sacrifices
be made to the divinites as a sort of 1.-THE Human
sacrifices included in this tribute, each tribe
furnishing at least one girl and one boy Each
year all of the victims destined for sacrifice
assembled at CuZco the great temple of the Incas.
There careful division was made of them to
the four principal parts of the empire. THE
management of this part of the service was ad-
mrabe," says Dr. Uhe. Zone minister for each
of the four principal divisions of the empire kept
a strict account of the number of victims due each
god in his province, while the chief priests also
kept accounts of the number of victims received
by them and sacrificed. Primitive though their
methods were, there was a strict accounting in
the matter of victims for sacrifice"
The mingling of natives from various
provinces for sacrifice not limited to children
They were all assembled, stated, at central
point, Cuzco, and then allotted to the respective
temples. That is why some of the sacrificed women
of Pachacamac may have been natives of tribes
far distant.
In addition to the victims destined for sacri-
flee every year beautiful young girls, virgins, were
assembled at Cuzco, from the different tribes and
these too allotted to the temples in the
manner as those chosen for sacrifice. Again there
was strict accounting.
TINE sacrifice of victim as 1.-THE was most
i solemn event, called the rite of qhapaj
quocha." An old writer gives the following &C.
count of the last journey of the victims from the
central point to the temple of sacrifice. This
account was written by Spaniard who obtained
it from Inca priest.
Those who had to escort the victims for the
qhapaj quocha to the provinces avoided the regu-
lar roads of the empire. They sought with their
