CUBA ARCHAEOLOGY: THE PORTAL OF ARCHAEOLOGY CUBAN INTERNET

As a result of low international understanding of Cuban archaeological work, just recently seen the light of the first digital archeology project of Cuba on the Internet; in which several researchers collaborate. The same is meant to rally the Cuban archaeological community for joint collaboration throughout the entire archipelago, serving as a means for updating the activity among researchers, be they in Cuba or interested in the development of this science in the country.

Cuba Archaeological , which takes its name from the first compilation of archaeological work in Cuba published in 1978, is a self-funded project, which receives no subsidy from private associations or government agencies, governed by the laws of Cuban heritage .

web site, direction www.cubaarqueologica.org electronic has as main objective scientific disclosure Cuban archeology, as well as national historical heritage, opening the door to international recognition of the work of this science in Cuba, being proposed:

1. disseminate the work carried out in Cuba in the archeological field in general, whether in the form of news, articles, projects, etc..
2. Make a directory of all the people who do Archaeology in Cuba with contact details and areas of study fundamentally.
3. Create a mailing list via email, where archaeological issues are addressed and serve to enhance communication, exchange views and ideas, distributing literature, etc., being able to subscribe at: listaarqueologica@gmail.com
4. Post compendiums of articles, conference papers or Archaeology Archaeology those papers to be presented in other conferences, or graduate thesis paper and digital formats. Edit
5. an electronic journal of Archaeology where both published articles, projects, book reviews, etc., As information of interest to the Cuban archaeological community.

The website is divided into different sections such as: Institutions, Events Library, Education, Publications, Heritage and others dedicated to the study areas of Archaeology. Among these items is a guide to the institutions linked to archaeological science. We present invitations to conferences and upcoming events as well as courses, conferences and other activities related to educational development in the archaeological area. They are also available articles and books that will be shaping a digital bibliographic access to all concerned, the laws relating to the Cuban heritage and international charters for preservation; inserting also the publications issued currently in the country on this issue with authorized access to individual articles, as well as bygone publications as the Journal of the National Board of Archaeology and Ethnology.

Moreover, just add the Archaeological Gallery, where there will be photo exhibitions on Archaeology and historical heritage of Cuba, which will be active for a month. Archaeological

Cuba opens its doors to collaboration and input from all stakeholders for the improvement of this digital resource.

Herpes Outbreak And Age

CHARACTERIZATION cultural evidence in the archaeological sites TOWNSHIP Cabaiguan, Province Sancti Spiritus, CUBA [1 ª VERSION]

Continued ... (6 ª part) Archaeological


Tres Palmas I

The site is located at 1.3 km from the town of Tres Palmas, 7.5 km from the town of Guayos and 5 m on the left bank of the creek Zambumbia, which empties into the river Zaza 1.5 km from the place of study.

Evidence surface displayed in an area of \u200b\u200b4800 square meters, where the cultivation of the soil has led largely outcrop of them.
The collected material was grouped into: lithic, ceramic, shell and food debris .

The furniture of carved stone described in the study in Prehispanic regalia. The

majadores hammers and coming from the reservoir can be considered medium to small size and consist of natural stones used without prior preparation. Traces of these instruments work appear quite sizeable, mainly along its entire perimeter in the case of disk-shaped and the ends to the ovoid. For its part, the one show majadores work surface. As for the

Dyer material were collected two types of materials consisting of minerals: hematite and piroluxita . The first is an iron oxide, which provides a red dye and the second is a manganese oxide black color.

Using hematite as dyeing material is clearly proven in almost every municipality Cabaiguán sites, but the use of manganese oxides has not been tested in any of the sites discovered in the country. However, the rocks collected in Tres Palmas I show some signs of friction on their surfaces, as well as hematite, where plans have been formed completely smooth and polished, showing how to obtain the dye.

The only manganese mine closer to the site is located in Sierra de Cubitas, province of Camagüey. This material does not outcrop at the surface, but appears in deposits as such (Cosme, personal communication). For these reasons, it is possible to infer that copies of piroluxitas were imported or brought in by these natives to their arrival and may, therefore, an indication of place of origin.

The ceramic appears highly fragmented and eroded, as well as the number of fragments is high.
The temper is relatively thick and formed by micro quantities.

excenta, ceramics decorations, just get a piece of edge of vessel with a semicircular incision at the top.

The shape of the vessels should be generally globular. The thickness of the walls varies between 4 mm and 9 mm, the predominance of 7 mm thick. The

shell material is abundant, only collected a fragment of mantle Strombus costatus used as a hammer, as well as several fragments belonging to other tools that by their conservation status can not be identified. Blow

food .- These are elements jutías bone gender Capromys and Geocapromys, turtles of the genus Pseudemys, and vertebrae of fish and land snails of the genus Zachrysia. Mounds are not observed.

The evidence collected on this site presuppose the existence of an economy based mainly on hunting, fishing and gathering, in addition to the possible domestication of certain plants. Copyright
