Julio C. Tello is considered to be the "first Peruvian archeologist to treat archeological sites in a scientific manner."[1]

Tello is well-known for his discovery of 429 mummy bundles in 1925 in the Cerro Colorado area of Peru. His findings are the most significant source of information regarding the Paracas culture, which dates 750 B.C.E- 100 C.E. The Tello Obelisk, an eight foot high obelisk located in Peru at the archaeological site of Chavín de Huantár inl Peru, is also named after for his discovery of it. [2]
