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!
