A group of students have discovered a 7,000-year-old mummy during an archaeology field trip to Morro de Arica in northern Chile.
The group of students from the American school in Arica were excavating an area at the foot of El Morro, a coastal hill as part of an archaeology workshop when they made the discovery, according to Noticerios Televisa
The mummy is believed to have been made visible after local landslides caused by the powerful earthquake taht struck the region in April.
The mummy is believed to be part of the coastal Chinchorro culture from what is now northern Chile and southern Peru.
