CHARACTERIZATION OF EVIDENCE CULTURAL the archaeological sites of MUNICIPIIO Cabaiguan, Province Sancti Spiritus, CUBA [1 ª VERSION]


Continued (Part Three)


Archaeological
The Crucible
One is located 2 km northwest of the town of El Hatico and 65 m on the right bank of the river Pumpkins.

The discovery and the first surface collections were made by Hiraldo Fumero Rojas, Caonao Group member in April 1984.

The site is bounded by an area of \u200b\u200b45 mx 20 m, approximately, in which the evidence emerge on the surface without reaching levels they exist.

The only type of lithic material is collected and also really interesting is the finding of a knife blade-edge and touch natural ridge, which is similar in length to the Seboruco site in eastern our país.Esta-knife blade is made of silicified limestone and its dimensions are 22.5 cm x 5.6 cm, triangular section.

In general, the alterations are unremarkable in Tools of The Crucible. The most outstanding tools are notches and denticulate in chips, although not very abundant.

orientation changes are appreciated in some nuclei, as well as nuclei for the production of flakes and blades, globular and planes striking opposites.

fragmented sheets were collected increased thickness and dimensions, which must correspond to the dorsal edge blunt tools.

At peak was observed removing a portion of the dorsal heel by flaking, similar to the technique first observed at these sites in the Ladies I.

Usually no intensive tools sliced, which may be indicative of temporary settlement.

A laminar industry with similar characteristics to that of
Seibacoa Ladies I and I.

The key touch that is appreciated in the flakes is microlithic notches. Some obstenta a touch thin, but not very pronounced.

The strikers have a few marks on your work surface and is not worthwhile to establish an evaluative analysis of the data by the small number of existing copies.

Dyer material consists of rock fragments of red (hematite) of regular size. Not shown signs of friction in them. Also

observed a significant number of stones without using, presumably as a source of raw material.

CARACTERIAZACIÓN OF Cultural evidence in the archaeological sites TOWNSHIP Cabaiguan, Province Sancti Spiritus, CUBA [1 ª VERSION]

Continued ... (Part Two)



AREAS STUDY

Archaeological
Ladies I

Overview .-
is a strip of land, which has more than 20 m above the water level Zaza River and its appearance resembles a long plateau. The evidence displayed in an area of \u200b\u200b720 m X 80 m. The area is modified, because this land has been dedicated for over 50 years of agriculture and the cultivation of fruits.

The collections made to the present report the existence of lithic (stone carving and stone by volume) and associated with it, what could be, at the discretion of the authors, a small cut glass industry, an issue is still not entirely conclusive, although we have studied the evidence, identifying some tools within this material type.

In August 1987 the site was visited by Dr. Manuel Rivero de la Calle together with several members of the group Caonao.


Results and discussion

Material .-
lithic stone industry in the workshop highlighted the presence of almost all genres, with good representation of the types contained in the list typological Jorge Febles (1988) in regard to films
tools
Despite not having a laminar industry Microlite, is very similar morphological features observed in some drills to Aguas Verdes type of the Left, with the difference that they are not microlithic.

The denticulate and notched tools are made from dorsal retouch preforms, however, these types of tools are not common in the lytic outfit Ladies.

points in obtaining the removal was part of the heel, the dorsal side, with a slice of two or more slides from the actual heel and the longitudinal axis direction, as indicated by the development of negative, which should facilitate hafting of these tools to a wooden shaft.

mostly in the nuclei were prepared his plans of scrimmage, which is Valado by a large number of simple heels (no crust).

Moreover, it is remarkable the existence of small carved stones to be used, presumably as retouchers or perhaps for other functions.

tools in the complex nuclei are present, or the Chopers and Chopin-Tools.

The basic source for obtaining raw material for chipped stone tools were found in the river itself Zaza and a few meters from the settlement of Las Damas.

Within the volume are stone hammers majadores and originated from the use of natural pebbles without prior preparation. The work surface of these instruments has a high degree of utilization, all of which shows not only the development of activities of collecting seeds and tubers, but also stay in the settlement area. Majadores appear with two or more work surfaces.

The finding of a lytic area in the settlement area reveal the existence of superstructural manifestations or aboriginal funeral rites laid down in the ladies, considering the comments made by Tabío (1979) in relation to this type of device.

is appreciable amount of dye stone fragments (Hematite) collected, as well as the absence of signs of abrasion or friction on their surfaces, which can be inferred that the production of dye could possibly crushing the ore.

natural pebbles are abundant with no signs of use on the site.


Other interesting evidence .- The site
Ladies group was collected, it seems, from tools to cut glass with some eloquent touches and similarity to other collected in some localities in the province of Sancti-Spiritus and Cienfuegos respectively, which would in the process of confirmation, after visiting the other archaeological sites where have appeared this evidence and to establish comparisons and consultations.

fragment also appears celt blade, green (peridotite), where you see part of the bevel of the same, as well as traces of reuse, but as a polisher. Its dimensions are 7.1 cm x 2.9 cm x 5.6 cm.

Finally, near the site lithic material is a representative sample of colonial ceramics, consisting of pottery fragments and edges of these, some of them equipped with yellow color enamel and other red, and fragments of porcelain decorated with different motifs and nuances.
