While conducting the excavation, San Marcos University students and researchers initially discovered the mummy's hair and skull, and then continued to excavate and found the rest of the mummy.

According to archaeologist Miguel Aguilar, the mummy may belong to the Manchay culture that flourished in the valleys of Lima between 1500 and 1000 BC and was associated with the construction of U-shaped temples, oriented towards the rising sun.

The mummified person was likely sacrificed during the final stages of temple construction. In addition to the mummy, archaeologists also unearthed burial objects including corn, coca leaves and coca seeds, which may have been part of a sacrificial ritual.
