Grandmother of the Uruguayans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Grandmother of the Uruguayans (Spanish: Abuela de los uruguayos), as she is known because there is no record of her name, was a South American indigenous woman deceased approximately since at least 1600 years ago counted backwards from 2012, whose skeleton is the oldest one that has been found so far in the territory of what is nowadays known as Uruguay. In 2018, an approximate digital facial reconstruction from her skull was made.
