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.
