The samples collected from that locality ground, where archaeologists
restarted their labour after 20 years of research, "would allow to
identify the materials used in foods as well as animal remains, and will
ease to know ancient stuff from this part of the Museum".
Archaelogists from Cuba and U.S.A. discovered a Cuban aborigin cemetery
Cuban archaelogists together with their colleagues from the University
of Alabama (U.S.A.) discovered a Cuban aborigin cemetery in the eastern
region of the island. The site is quite well preserved, and in that area
its native tribes processed their foods.
Specialist Roberto Valcárcel, head of this Project, expressed to the
local press of Holguìn City, located some 900 kilometers from Havana
City, that the finding took place in the area of the Chorro de Maíta
Archaeolgical Museum.
"It is a small place at Yaguajay, Banes municipality, where foods were
possibly processed, and its greatest importance for the research is that
it still remains unchanged", told Valcárcel to the Agencia Nacional de
Información ( AIN ) (News Information Agency) of Cuba .

He also stated that those diggings are part of "El Chorro de Maíta project,
Register of the Archaeological space". These works were restarted three
years ago and they will finish next November.

decades ago, archaeologists from Holguìin province and speacialist from
the University of Alabama, restarted thier site works with the aim to
get more complete informations on the aborigine settlement".
