[Aztlan] OLDEST GOLD JEWELRY EVER FOUND IN THE AMERICAS FOUNDINPERU

[Henry Avila]

Dona:

So in this case the age of the necklace was determined, dating other objects
in the place.

Because it looks to me, too speculative to date an iron necklace with such
specific dates, like 2155-1936 BCE.


Regards!

Being the metallic objects in a tomb, I think it is possible that there are
organic remains - wood, clothes, the same dead man - with which to date the
set. This way, for example, there assume certain objects found in
Tutankamon's tomb to his date of decease, etc. 

  0,00001 cents.

I wonder how is possible to determine the age of metals and minerals because
their composition is always older than the age when they had been used by
the people.

Listeros,



A necklace of gold and turquoise beads has been found at an ancient 
hunter-gatherer site in the Andes and are the oldest crafted gold 
jewelry ever found in the Americas. The burial site near Lake 
Titicaca dates between 2155-1936 BCE. A more secure economic base and 
complex culture was always the basis for jewelry making of this kind 
so this discovery of gold and turquoise jewelry changes the dynamic 
in this situation.

Live Science has the story with two photos here;
