Este trabajo informa sobre la relocalización y estudio de un entierro de alta montaña del período incaico, extraído en la década de 1920 del Nevado de Chuscha (Salta, Argentina). Conocido como la "Momia de los Quilmes", el conjunto, que incluye el cuerpo momificado de una mujer joven, su vestimenta y ajuar, tuvo una historia de extracción violenta y tráfico ilegal. Se reconstruye su trayectoria, se realiza una descripción actualizada del hallazgo y se discute su adscripción cultural, proponiéndose como un sacrificio humano (capacocha) incaico atípico por la edad y sexo de la víctima.
