Tello inferred that there was a form of incineration that the Paracas people used in their preservation (Guillén 2004) and concluded that this may have been ceremonial or accidental. Yet, in a study by Yacovleff and Muelle, they argue that mummification was caused by natural desiccation (Vreeland Jr 1998). They cite the aridity…
