Indigenous Ceramics find in Villa Clara

HAVANA TIMES, July 28 — The finding for the first time of abundant pieces made out of shells, among them corporal adornments, demonstrates the possible presence of farmer-potters among the indigenous people of central northern Cuba, Villa Clara province. Raúl Villavicencio, an archaeologist from the Centre for Environmental Studies and Services (CESAM) in that territory, explained to the Cuban media that the advanced technique used reflects a high level of development in primitive communities, since up to now there only existed traces of agricultural hunters in the province, reported IPS.
