AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Ten cane coffins, one well persevered, were found at Pacatnamu in the Jequetepeque Valley. The authors made a study the dimensions, materials, and construction of Moche cane coffins, partly by building a full-scale replica. This allowed them to understand the quantity of materials needed and to estimate the time and labor required.
