Listeros,

Archaeologists in Peru have found three dozen people sacrificed by the  
Lambayeque 600 years ago at Chotuna-Chornancap near the tomb of Sipan.  
Their necks and collarbones were cut. Most were young women around 15  
years of age. One was pregnant. Their skin tissue and hair have been  
preserved as they were in a dry area 7 feet underground. The Reuters  
article identifies the people who did this as Inca but in fact, they  
were Lambayeque.

Erik Boot sends these two articles from El Universal and a personal  
blog which has many very good photos of the find. (both in Spanish)
