The Norte Chico civilization was a pre-Columbian civilization that flourished in what is now Peru from around 3500 BCE to 1800 BCE. Since little is known about their culture, it is difficult to accurately describe the appearance of a Norte Chico man. However, based on archaeological evidence, it is believed that they were a coastal people who lived in small villages and subsisted on fishing, farming, and trading. They likely wore simple clothing made from woven materials and used shells, stones, and other natural resources as adornments.
