Production of Olympic artefacts in the pre-ceramics occupation of the Great Cacao site

Abstract

At the right bank of the alluvial plain of the Baba river, on the Buena Fé canton, in Los Rios province-Ecuador, we find the n3f1-15 archaeological site, called Gran Cacao. It has 5 different cultural occupations. The most ancient is also one of the few pre- ceramic evidences for this zone, dated at 8360+ 40 b.p. It´s cultural component demonstrates a lithic operative chain with evidence of the application of the “central place foraging” model, proposed by orians and pearson (1979). Among the artifacts found, there is a collection of stone cores made from local raw materials, as well as, a blades industry made of non local materials. Carving techniques and artifact’s preparation includes the use of fire to break stone cores, and the use of non local materials until their complete wear out.
