LOCATED IN THE BAY OF TWO SITES CONCHEROS JAGUA large and relocation, an INTERESTING Wastewalker Agroceramic, REPORTED IN THE PAST CENTURY.


By: Architect Mark E. Rodriguez


The major changes brought about by the industrial development generate negative impacts on the natural and archaeological heritage. However, such impacts can be mitigated if not avoided, by taking appropriate measures enough time, before the heavy equipment and dynamite start to do their work for change. This is the case which happened in the Bay of Jagua and Cienfuegos, in the center and south of the Cuban archipelago, selected for its strategic position and its ideal conditions of safety and security to develop Petrochemical called the heat of the ambitious integration projects regional, boosted by the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas, or ALBA, as it is known in everyday language and popular, referring to a bright dawn for our people of Latin America and the Caribbean.

Jagua Bay is a repository of rich and varied archaeological heritage both pre-Columbian and post-Hispanic, precisely because of the excellent conditions that gave the first Aboriginal people and European settlers later.

is why Cienfuegos that archaeologists have been unusually busy in recent months in the conduct of examinations, with the aim of studying new findings and to monitor the state of conservation of archaeological sites already declared in the affected area by such anthropogenic changes.
field
This work has been supported logistically by the National Company for Applied Research in Cienfuegos, responsible for conducting geological studies, Pre microlocalization of different industrial and service facilities.

As important results of these scans can mention the location of two middens sites, large and, it seems, of considerable antiquity, given the high degree of mineralization that have the valves of Cassostrea virginica, commonly marine mollusk known for oysters. The extraordinary dimensions of these leaflets us back to times when the environment of the bay was a virgin human exploitation, as they are not aware of the existence of large colonies of these animals in historical times, although many of the mangroves have remained or less in good condition. These middens were revealed when the machines opened the trails to facilitate movement and the work of geologists and surveyors.
These large accumulations of shells could be evidence of a coastal collection feverish activity by Aboriginal communities very early in this part of the country.

Another important result was the relocation of a Wastewalker agroalfarero known by the name of Calicito discovered and reported in the years of the eighties of last century by members of the Jagua of amateur archeology.

So this archaeological site was assessed as virtually destroyed by natural and human factors, but mainly because the brunt of strong waves during storms, due to its location on the same coastline, the merits and northwestern portion of the Bay of Jagua .

However, this relocation has also allowed us to reassess their characteristics which match those of a more rich and extensive Wastewalker.

some interesting pieces were collected, mostly handles ceramic vessels, which protruded into the excavated slope at the edge of the site by the constant waves, sometimes strong enough, during the storms and hurricanes. Also were found two shell, but in both the characteristics correspond to that abound in this region, consisting of shells of various species of mollusks, both marine and terrestrial and less ancient appearance.




surveys will continue to the extent that advance the geological studies in the area, so any other news we will disclose it in this blog of Archaeology.

In his opinion, the workshop would be a first approach of the founding of the town of Sancti Spiritus, which demonstrate the veracity of the criteria exposed by historians, who give Pueblo Viejo and ridge of the Church as the founding chair of the town. Pointing out the need and importance of this type of workshop for the development of regional archeology and the study and conservation of local heritage.

As part of the evening, Marta Cuellar, Director of the Museo de Arte Colonial, provided extensive information about the archaeological work carried out in the toilet of the house site for the museum, words with which he opened an exhibition related to the materials recovered.

There, specialists able to appreciate the richness and variety of the body of evidence on display. It fostered a fruitful exchange between the present and enrich the knowledge we had at that time about the origin and dating of the sample, and the commitment of the study of such materials.


from Tuesday through Saturday 17 and 21, were carried out prospecting and excavation on the foothills of the Church and Thomas Knoll.


Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us On Thursday night, Alejandro Romero Emperor President of the Foundation "Antonio Núñez Jiménez de la Nature and Man", invited participants to his headquarters, where archaeological materials were collected at the site Yayabo and the river mouths and Tuinucú Yayabo in the river Zaza. The visit provided a more general form of the archaeological region under study.

Sunday 22 February, within hours of the morning, made the Round Table, which released the results of the workshop and projections of future work.



Overall rating:

The "First Workshop Archaeology Indian and Colonial Settlement Foundation the Villa of Sancti Spítitus , helped to strengthen unity among all people dedicated to archeology in our province, to exchange experiences and knowledge with renowned specialists provinces Havana, Cienfuegos and Holguin. A novel aspect was the sharing of bibliographic materials related to archeology. The workshop set new guidelines for future exploration and excavation in the province and Cuba, as well as the necessary arrangements for the creation of provincial archeology group and the central region of Cuba.



social impact and repercussions of the event:

archaeological surveys and excavations at Pueblo Viejo raised the attention of the public to study addressed the founding site of the town of Sancti Spiritus in the place cited by historians, known as the ridge of the Church. His results changed the idea came about that place is proposing, planning efforts in other directions

more likely archaeological . The study defines the characteristics of the archaeological site reported by Sanso et al, 1991, Thomas Knoll. The results provide in-depth workshop knowledge of our local history.



Strengths:

As the first historian Spiritus Tadeo Martínez Moles in the late eighteenth century could see the remains of buildings built around the ruins of the church.
This statement makes us doubt his veracity, excuse the historian, as if Sancti Spiritus was founded in the early sixteenth century and taking into account the precarious
of buildings at the time: wood and straw houses ; believe that it is very difficult , that after more than 200 years of being exposed to a Interpera end, these buildings withstand the climate extremes and other measures. Perhaps this statement was repeated over time by historians before him, without checking archaeological necessary in these cases, creating the hill Church and Thomas Knoll as site founding of the then town of Sancti Spiritus.

Several investigations were conducted in Pueblo Old with the course of the years: Sama group collected at the mouth of rivers Tuinucú Yayabo and archaeological evidence consisting of carved stone, by volume, ceramics and pottery of the nineteenth century. Sanso et al (1991) explored the place to find evidence of Indo-Hispanic contact in the place known as Thomas Knoll.
have no doubt that this town was founded in Pueblo Viejo, which could not be confirmed is that out in these specific sites, ie, in these two elevations, who gave very poor material evidence, such as majolica, fittings and utensils or tools other than the time and culture. Objectives of this workshop were fulfilled to the extent possible the "fertility" of surveys conducted on both elevations. In the first, the ridge of the Church multiple searches were conducted with no positive test. The hill
Thomas repeated the multiple surveys, up to the prospect of 4x4 m. long and about 20 cm. depth, where only a few fragments were collected, very small-ceramic, apparently Aboriginal and tiny fragments of sixteenth-century majolica, which features belong to what is known as "Columbia Plain", confirm this yet postrior of labor- gabinete.omando these results as a premise, we estimate that the ridge of the Church there was any settlement, since there is no trace of any room, no evidence whatsoever that might say this about último.En Thomas Knoll, one can only say that aboriginal and English contacted at some point, for a period not very long, but no real evidence of settlement. Analyzing
achievements with these surveys, we decided to perform a scan to the southeast (SE), following the west bank of the river Tuinucú, exploring the surface this area and bringing us closer to a major water source, since the location of Thomas Knoll elevations and ridge of the Church are a bit distant from this waterway exploration was successful in collecting on the surface to an excellent sample of lithic evidence, consisting of silica material, which could be seen cores, flakes, sheets of excellent workmanship and with signs of having worked hard and of course: Aboriginal bill.


not to deny, at any time that the original settlement of the city of Sancti Spiritus was around Pueblo Viejo, somewhere in this first approach could not be located. We continue to investigate, to explore possible sites settle the primitive inhabitants of this city.
The task must be carried out mainly by the Provincial Heritage of Sancti Spiritus in collaboration with relevant government agencies and specialists of Archeology of the Office of the Historian of Havana, the Office of Conservative Trinidad, the provincial Department of Archaeological and Paleontological CITMA Foundation "Antonio Núñez Jiménez de la Nature and Man", the "Sama" Speleological Society of Cuba and the specialists of the Trinidad Museum of Archaeology General museums and La Sierpe, Jatibonico, Taguasco, Yaguajay Cabaiguán, Development and Sancti Spiritus, which actively participated in this campaign.
Future "workshops" and systematic exploration in the area will lead to the clarification of this and other uncertainties, which contains our earliest history and the men who built it.


Negatives

The workshop is the first of its kind to be convened by the Provincial Center of Cultural Heritage of Sancti Spiritus, has its roots in the 13 workshops run by the Office of Archaeology the Curator of the City of Trinidad, by level of complexity and for reasons beyond the control of the Organizing Committee could not guarantee the proper completion of the necessary equipment for field work. The Organizing Committee recommends working in this direction in order to ensure the completion of the second workshop in 2010 in field conditions, which will help the necessary saving resources and reducing costs.

REPORTED FINDING OF HAND AXE IN PROMOTING


Go to ImageShack ® to Create your own Slideshow

Our
Barbaro Perez Hill colleague, historian of the city while Building Museum curator in this municipality, belonging to the province of Sancti Spiritus, we report the discovery of a hatchet-like features that have been collecting in the region of Sagua la Grande, Villa Clara province. The finding were referred was conducted within the urban area of \u200b\u200bthe city of Development, apparently the rain uncovered at the surface, and was later delivered to the municipal museum. Did not report the presence of any other archaeological evidence in the context of the area where it was collected the ax.

The ax was developed on a tabular block of flint, which still retains its bark in more than 75% of the total area of \u200b\u200bthe piece.
On with its dimensions, the measured arqueolito length 290 mm, 190 mm wide (at its mesial) and 40 mm thick on average, approximately. These measures ax Development, to be considered within the range of values \u200b\u200breported, to date, to the axes of the same type collected in the region of Sagua. According

raises Villavicencio (2002), there is a unanimous view that these axes can be considered multi ... being, therefore, weapons and supplies at a time. Such an approach is logical, since it is located in a time when man, for their technical limitations had not yet achieved the standardization of the production of small-sized tools with higher levels of complexity and specialized applications. Because of these shortcomings, hand axes were tools with which, it seems, was intended to address many of the problems of daily survival, what might have influenced the limited variety of stone tools that accompany the early outfits ( 1).

The discovery of this specimen of a hatchet in the territory of Development is really interesting, since it is the report of a new dispersal area within the territory of these human groups, which has agreed to designate as the Paleolithic, with into account the characteristics and technology of some elements that are part of her trousseau, in this case of her trousseau lithic (axes, mainly).
Finally, we wish to make clear that promotion, this report becomes the second country or area where you collect this type of ax in the Cuban archipelago.

Cienfuegos in the territory, despite the absence of any reports of the discovery of this evidence, however, has reported a carved stone industry well represented and large, that indeed this coincides with the social stage.
Everything expressed here is a challenge for our Archaeology, a new phenomenon, until recently unknown which is to be answered slowly, to the extent that any further research findings and progress in this direction.

appreciate the report that has sent our colleague and friend Barbaro Perez Colina for this section Tonnage-News.

See you soon!

Between 6 500 10 000 years ago human groups arrived in Cuba bearers of a culture that was called protoarcaico or Paleoindian . Among the first studies with this culture are those by Dr. Antonio Núñez Jiménez in the mid-40's, when first reported in the Levisa River basins and Mayan (Seboruco site), Holguín, a carved stone industry, in which stands-above all-the presence of large sheets typological dimensions and other characteristics that arguably differed from the rest of the groups that settled in our islands. agreed to call Seboruco culture.
Several discoveries in South America and
Cetroamérica and finding new locations in the U.S., which are reported not only pre-Clovis technologies, but also more primitive even show absolute dates which exceed 50 000 years BP.

reports, which have attracted the attention of the scientific world recently, is the findings of lithic industries, whose characteristics resemble to those groups Paleolithic stage, taking into account the technology used in the manufacture of stone artifacts and the presence of some examples of the types of these industries. These reports correspondence in eastern Cuba, to the Cave The Masanga in Gibara, Holguín province, where Milton Castellanos Nilecta Pino and discover the presence of remains of extinct fauna associated with early aboriginal groups. In the Central Region discoveries are located in the provinces of Villa Clara, in the municipalities of Sagua la Grande, and Corralillo Quemado de Guines, in addition to the province of Cienfuegos, Cienfuegos and Rhodes municipalities. These findings have

great importance and interest to understand how it is carried out on arrival, displacement, and further dispersion of these human groups in our archipelago and circum area in general. Studies have been ongoing for some time in the provinces of Villa Clara and Holguin through an international collaborative project in the province of Cienfuegos and are taking the first steps to starting this study.
