An international team of anthropologists and bioarchaeologists has found the primary ingredients of ayahuasca — a plant-based drink that is reported to induce hallucinations and altered consciousness — in a 1,000-year-old leather bundle from a rock shelter in the Bolivian Andes.

Two of the artifacts from the 1,000-year-old ritual bundle from Cueva del Chileno, southwestern Bolivia: the impressive pouch constructed of three fox (Lycalopex culpaeus) snouts stitched together (foreground), and the colorful textile headband (background).

"The bundle contained a large leather bag with a pair of carved wooden snuffing tablets, a snuffing tube, a pair of llama-bone spatulas, a colorful textile headband, fragments of dried plant stems held together by wool and fiber strings and a pouch stitched from three fox snouts."

You don’t see that very often. If ever.

Left in the crevice just prior to the Shaman falling over a cliff or down the mountainside in a hallucinogenic stupor and dying as he screamed, “My fox snouts! My fox snouts! Arrrrrrrrrrghhhhhh!!!!”

I don’t know about snouts, but Bryan, in the Life of, a Monty Python movie, sold fox noses to the Judean People’s Liberation Front.

Those thousand year old shamans can be pretty forgetful. Sometimes they’ll remember to pack an extra snout, and then they’ll still leave the bag laying around.
