was discovered by Orlando Alvarez and Luis E. Benavides, Caonao group members in March 1983. The site was
visited in 1987 by Peter P. Godo and Guillermo Baena, Department of Archaeology of the ACC, Santiago Silva, Orlando Alvarez and Leonardo Rojas; Caonao group. In addition, this time conducted the survey of the area and later typological study of carved stone industry.
distinctive features were observed in the studied lithic grave goods compared to the other settlements in the country of the same cultural affiliation.
Most Useful laminar length ranges between 5.1 and 12 cm and up 61% of the sample and a copy-straight retouched truncation-over 12 cm.

Seibacoa I
The site is considered as a temporary housing site, where there is some balance esntre developing ways of work and food preparation. However, to clarify some details about the nature of Wastewalker, should not be an overview of the numerical results.
typological and functional interpretation of useful work shows that it is not just a housing whereabouts, but an occupation with a goal specific economic.
uncut The lithic material is classified in the category of pebbles used, detection of several functions, but without the character of a veritable industry with different types of artifacts.
The absence of mounds or accumulations of dietary remains and other evidence indicative of use as a body or superstructural expression justifies the timing of the settlement.
Of the industries associated with the Mesolithic stage in Cuba, the sample of Seibacoa I, has points of contacts with the so-called The Ram, which identifies Aboriginal Wastewalker preferably situated in the Cauto basin and south of Camaguey, called Ciboney Cayo Redondo (Tabio and King, 1979) and Preagroalfareros in the late phase (Tabío, 1984).
