"...se ha encontrado, entre otras cosas pertenecientes a este período, torteros, un molino de piedra labrado, una pipa de piedra con grados, una manopla de bronce, un tumi, una espátula de hueso.

tumi
Explanation:
El tumi es un cuchillo ceremonial que tiene un mango con una figura humanoide, del dios Tumi... Me parece que es de la cultura Chavín del Perú (que me corrija el que sepa) y que se usaba para sacrificios humanos. Como se trata de un nombre propio, no se traduce. Quizás se podría poner entre paréntesis una explicación breve de lo que es.
