Chauchilla Cemetery is a cemetery that contains prehispanic mummified human remains and archeological artifacts, located 30 kilometres (19 mi) south of the city of Nazca in Peru. The cemetery is associated with the Nazca culture. The interments started c. 200 AD and continued until the 9th century. The forgotten cemetery was discovered in the 1920s. It had been plundered by grave robbers, but the remaining bodies have been preserved. A resin used in the funeral rites is thought to have protected the bodies from insects and bacteria.
