This ear of maize was found in an ancient grave in Arica, Peru,
which was exposed in 1886 when, following an earthquake, a great
tidal wave, or tsunami, swept over the coast, uncovering
thousands of graves. In the graves, bodies were found with instruments
and objects they had used in life – men were found with tools;
women with worls, wool, needles, and thread; and children with miniature
versions of the same things.
