In July 1995, are collected in the town of Guayos, Municipality Cabaiguan, Sancti Spiritus province, Aboriginal bones Pleistocene fauna, this momentous event in the territory.

The above information was extracted from the monograph: Characterization of cultural evidence, Aboriginal skeletal remains of extinct fauna in the locality of Guayas authors F. Silva Santiago García, Abel Hernández Muñoz, Mary B. Martin and Ileana Cruz Rodríguez Valdés.
In May 2007 once again visited the Cave The Tinaja, where they were discovered the abovementioned evidence, in order to make a short video of the area of \u200b\u200bfinding and editing along with some images of human remains exhumed in order to further supplement the information available on our research files.

It was noted that some of the remains Aboriginal bone still remains of a reddish tint, possibly obtained from the use of iron oxide (hematite), pulverized and then added to the bone surface by way of dye. This feature, observed in Aboriginal skeletal remains of this town, no way constitutes an exclusive new event this burial, as the report closest to this location corresponds to that performed by archaeologist José Álvarez Conde in 1960 in Wastewalker Cave La Jutia, in the municipality of Fomento, Sancti Spiritus, Cuba.
