A gold lime-dipper, made for licking off a hullosogenic mixture of lime and coca. Spiritual leaders of the Clima-Malagana people of ancient Colombia would take these substances in order to induce a trance, during which, it was believed, they entered the spirit world. See it in the British Museum's 'Beyond El Dorado' exhibition until 23rd March 2014. Review by the exhibitionologist: http://exhibitionologist.wordpress.com/2014/01/29/revew-beyond-el-dorado/
A ancient burial was found during the archaeological rescue that INCIVA is carrying out on the Cali - Yumbo highway, section Gecolsa - Dapa, near the junction that leads to the village of Dapa. Credit: Inciva Patrimonio Vital Jonathan Velasquez Alzate, Director in charge of INCIVA, reported that based on the initial findings this is a primary burial of approximately 2,000 years old that can be attributed to the Malagana or Yotoco culture since the area was the territorial boundary between the two tribes. Credit: Inciva Patrimonio Vital The skeletal remains are in supine position, accompanied by a medium sized bowl decorated with red paint. Fragments of charcoal were also found. Credit: Inciva Patrimonio Vital The burial, located at a depth of 186 cm, is in a bad state of preservation due to the vibrations caused by the high traffic of vehicles on the road. Credit: Inciva Patrimonio Vital The new find confirms the presence of a pre-Hispanic cemetery in the area, which will have to be preserved as an important vestige of the cultural and archaeological heritage of Valle del Cauca.
