A trove of 1,000-year old artifacts unearthed in Bolivia contains traces of five psychoactive drugs: cocaine, BZE, bufotenine (produced by toads), harmine and DMT, the active ingredient in ayahuasca. It’s the most types of drugs ever found at a South American archeological site.
The found materials include “snuffing tablets, a snuffing tube [and] a pair of llama-bone spatulas]” some with ornate carvings. The site may have been used for funerals.
