What specific evidence points to ritual sacrifice in the case of Burial 10, and what are its immediate implications for our understanding of ancient Ecuadorian practices?

The remains of a pregnant woman, discovered in coastal Ecuador and dated to 771-953 CE, show signs of ritual sacrifice. Burial 10, as she is known, was approximately 17-20 years old when she died, and her hands and left leg were removed. A cranial fracture and cut marks on her hand bones further support the theory of sacrifice.
