The Museo R. P. Gustavo Le Paige in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile has an archaeological collection of about 380,000 pre-Columbian artifacts from the Atacameno culture.

Additional notes submitted by Dew parsons in May 2019: The exhibits have been moved to a new museum on the north western outskirts of the town, the old museum buildings having been demolished. Many of the exhibits are in storage although the new museum contains some excellent material which is very well presented. The mummy in the photo shown in the original posting of thisn site was not on display when I visited. The location of the museum is approximate as maps on the internet still show the old site.

Note: Chilean mummies reveal ancient nicotine and hallucinogen habit (Warning: graphic images)

Chilean Mummies Reveal Ancient Nicotine Habit by Andy B on Monday, 26 August 2013
(User Info | Send a Message)
The hair of mummies from the town of San Pedro de Atacama in Chile reveals the people in the region had a nicotine habit spanning from at least 100 B.C. to A.D. 1450. Additionally, nicotine consumption occurred on a society-wide basis, irrespective of social status and wealth, researchers say.

The finding refutes the popular view that the group living in this region smoked tobacco for just a short stint before moving on to snuffing hallucinogens.

"The idea was that around A.D. 400, people in San Pedro de Atacama (SPA) smoked tobacco in pipes, and then after that time, they gradually switched to inhaling dimethyltryptamines in snuffing trays," said study co-author Hermann Niemeyer, an organic chemist at the University of Chile in Santiago. "What we show is that's not correct."

The results, which will be detailed in the October issue of the Journal of Archaeological Science, suggest nicotine consumption in pre-Hispanic SPA occurred continuously for hundreds of years and was performed by people of all social and wealth statuses.
