A pregnant woman believed to have lived over a thousand years ago in Ecuador 's coastal region may have been part of ritual sacrifice or punishment.

The young woman's remains showed a cranial fracture and cut marks on her hand bones, which led them to hypothesize that she was sacrificed.

Her hands and left leg were removed at or near the time of her death, researchers said.
