Cranium

Of 70 individuals in the Puruchuco cemetery, only three show clear signs of having been killed by Spanish weapons. One of them is the individual known as Mochito, whose skull (above) is thought to have been pierced three times by Spanish steel, possibly from horseback. (At this time, New World Indians had neither steel nor horses.)
