## Resource

This week's episode we discuss the site of Monte Verde in southern Chile and some recent controversy surrounding the site's dating. We also talk about the brutal Atacama Desert and how this environment led the fishers moving through the region to develop several forms of mummification throughout their long history in the region. For this season that covers natural mummification as well as the black mummy method.
