Description:... "Royal Tombs of Sipán was written to serve as a catalogue for the museum exhibition of the same name. Its primary aim is to provide an account of the discovery, excavation, and current interpretation of the three royal tombs that were scientifically revovered from Sipán between 1987 to 1990. We have tried to relate them to the royal tomb that, so tragically, was looted at Sipán before the archaeological work began, and to demonstrate the value of careful archaeological excavation as opposed to clandestime looting"--Preface.
