Shown above are eight naturally mummified bodies from a low valley archaeological site in northern Chile, dating between 350BCE - AD 500. Anatomic findings in six of the above bodies indicate evidence of lobar pneumonia from which they had recovered. However, in two of the bodies pneumonia was the cause of death. Their agricultural occupation in the naturally dusty air of this desert region contributed to the development of silicate pneumoconiosis.
