Sector Daina Morales

The sector known as Daina Morales exhibited a concentration of 5 positive shovel tests out of a total of 12 conducted. The depth of this context was generally 54 cm below the surface, with sterile cangahua-type soil found at 80 cm below the surface.

 

Within the positive shovel tests, “abundant material remains of ceramic fragments, Republican-era ceramics, obsidian, faunal bones, metals, and tiles” were discovered, prompting the opening of two test pits to better understand the nature of the deposit. This refuse dump presented a significant amount of disturbed cultural material between levels.
