In principle, the element that attracted attention was a skull that surfaced in one of the profiles of the hole, linked to an individual primary burial in pit.
In this enclave, elements of the funeral practice of the aborigines converge, where in addition to the primary grave in pit corresponding to a teenage subject that gave rise to the finding, it is recorded, from the numerous decontextualized bone remains of the hole, an important density of burials in the area with at least a minimum number of five individuals, including two children's subjects and three adults.
However, given the material repertoires together with the outstanding combustion testimonies, the possibility of other uses could be considered, in addition to the strictly funeral. Generally speaking, the materials fall within the typical pre-Hispanic repertoires of a domestic nature, although the meagerness of the intervention does not allow for definitive valuations. So far, an interesting set has been recovered in which the lithic pieces, ceramic fragments and remains of domestic fauna abound, to which are added other anecdotal elements such as testimonies of marine fauna and an idol fragment. With the contin
uation of the work you will be able to know better how this enclave works, what its essential components are and what its historical significance is. Arq
