Star-Bulletin Thursday, July 4, 1985 Mummies May Hold Secrets to First American Settlement By Richard Boudreaux ARICA, Chile (AP) Some 8,000 years ago, the occupant of Tomb 761 was a man of respect in the seaside settlement, perhaps because at hunting or fishing, scientists say. So when he died, he was made into a statue to be worshipped. Today, archaeologists have unearthed the fallen idol and restored some of his former status. They believe it is mankind's oldest known mummy. SCIENTISTS SAY the mummy, preserved by the bone dry Atacama Desert and an elaborate deathbed treatment, is 7,810 years old, about 2,600 years older than his senior Egyptian counterpart, Seker-Em-Sa-F, a 6th Dynasty prince.

and 95 other mummified men, women and children are being examined for clues about the origin of an Indian society that lived along a 300-mile Pacific coastal strip of what is now northern Chile and southern Peru. Dr. Marvin J. Allison, a U.S. pathologist heading the team of mostly Chilean researchers, says the age of this so-called Chinchorro culture could help prove that advanced human society existed in the Americas far earlier than scientists commonly believe.

The mummies were uncovered by accident in November 1983 during a water company excavation at the base of a 130-foothigh sandstone mound in this arid port city. Allison, 64, announced his findings about the mummies last month to a seminar at the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond, from which he has retired to chronicle the Chinchorros. THE CULTURE was named by a German archaeologist, Max Uhle, who dug up the first mummies here 70 years ago but lacked means to determine how old they were. Their ages were established last year by Carbon14 dating. In an interview at the University of Tarapaca in Arica, where he now works, Allison said the mummies ranged from 3,670 years old and upward, challeng.

ing the assumption that the Chinchorros came into existence during the period of the 16th century Spanish conquest. "I think we have found this society was a lot more complicated than originally believed," Allison said. "Their system of burial obviously required a well-developed social structure." Until now, scientists thought mongoloid Asian people reached Alaska 30,000 years ago and migrated slowly down the west coast of the Americas. BUT ALLISON contends that the Asian people could not have moved quickly enough to reach the Southern Hemisphere by the date of the earliest proven Chinchorro settlement here. "We really don't know where they came from," he said.

Silvia Quevedo, an anthropologist at Chile's Museum of Natural Science, claims their knowledge of anatomy "was much superior to that exhibited by the mummies of Egypt." The ancient Egyptians disemboweled the bodies of their OLDEST-One of the mummies found in northern Chile is on display in Chile's Museum of Natural Science. -AP Photo. royalty, salt them for up to 70 days, wrapped them in linen bandages and buried them with their gold and jewelry. The early Chinchorros, who possessed no such wealth, skinned their dead, removed major organs and muscles, fire-dried the corpse, and reinforced the bones with straw matting and carved wooden struts. THEN, TRIBAL doctors pulled the skin back on like a glove and covered the head with a clay mask and a wig made from the dead person's hair.

Next they painted the corpse and erected it as a statue. "Our theory is they believed that the body of an excellent hunter, for example, would emit spiritual guidance to the living in the matter of hunting," Allison said. Later mummies from the same cemetery were not skinned and were covered with a thin layer of cement, apparently to make better statue, the researchers reported. Most of the mummies had fallen and were damaged. Micronesia Worries About Curbs Proposed in Congress By Robert Trumbull ON.Y.

Times Service Micronesian leaders say they are concerned about proposals in a House committee to dilute the semi-independent status promised to two Pacific island groups in an agreement accepted by the Reagan administration, the Senate and island voters. The measure is awaiting approval in the House. President Tosiwo Nakayama of the Federated States of Micronesia, the larger of the two island groups affected, said he was particularly upset that members of the House Committee on Interior and Insular Affairs had urged changes that would curb the islands' authority, on economic matters, including control of fishing rights in their waters. Such moves "raise the question of sovereignty," Nakayama said. He warned that such changes might require a referendum in the islands, with full independence on the ballot as an alternative to the planned political links with the United States, officially called a "free association." Nakayama, on a recent visit to Honolulu, also said that Micronesians were "very much concerned" over negotiations between the neighboring Kiribati republic and the Soviet Union that would give Soviet fishing fleets license for the first time to operate in nearby waters.

Australia, New Zealand and other Pacific island nations oppose such an accord on the ground that the Russians use their trawlers for sophisticated electronic spying as well as for fishing.

S.B.: July 4, 1985) (SB-6482) ATTENTION LEGAL ADVERTISERS DEADLINES: bert Islands with its capital on Tarawa atoll, has denied that any pact with Moscow would provide shore bases for the Soviet fishing fleet. THE KIRIBATI government said that under the accord being discussed, the Russians would pay Kiribati about $1.3 million annually for fishing rights in the island republic's waters, which cover some two million square miles on both sides of the Equator south of Hawaii. Besides Micronesia, the other island group opposing House action are the Marshall Islands, which lie just north and west of Kiribati. The indigenous people of all three groups, and of many other islands in the area, are mostly of the same Micronesian race. Semi-independence is also planned for the Palau Islands, farther west, but has been stalled by a Palauan antinuclear movement.

The President of Palau, Haruo I. Remeliik, was shot and killed by an unknown assailant Sunday, and it is not clear if the slaying had a political motive. A fourth group, the Northern Mariana Islands, has voted to become a United States commonwealth, like Puerto Rico. All the groups were taken from Japan by American forces in World War II and since 1947 have been administered by the United States under a United Nations trusteeship. Under the agreement called the Compact of Free Association, signed by American and Micronesian representatives in 1982 after 13 years of negotiations, the elected governments of the Federated States of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau would gain autonomy in domestic and foreign affairs, except for the military, which would remain under American control.

Washington would also be obligated to provide financial sup port for the three archipelagos, which contain more than 2,000 islands and atolls with a combined population of about 000. THE MICRONESIAN states, like other her Pacific Island nations, claim jurisdiction over "exclusive economic zones" extending 200 miles from their shores. Objections to the zones by American commercial tuna interests have received support from members of the House interior committee. The islanders maintain, however, that selling licenses to fish in those waters is a potentially major source of badly needed revenue. The Federated States of Micronesia alone has raised $1.2 million this year from licensing individual American fishing craft, but has been unable to come to terms with the American Tuna Boat Association on a fleet license, Nakayama said.

Other potential licensees are Japanese, Taiwanese and South Korean fishing fleets. Nakayama said that "substantial" amendments to the compact such as the porprosed changes affecting finances and fishing, would require that the revised document be approved by voters in the islands, who overwhelmingly endorsed the present agreement in referendums several years ago. A new referendum would reopen the option of full independence, which came second in voter preference in the previous referendums, Nakayama said.
