• De Santi et al. 2020: Three overlapping cultural components (C1 to C3) were detected during the archaeological excavation of the site, showing long-term human occupation from ca. 7400 BP to the late Holocene. The Lower Component (C1) assemblage is associated to lanceolate-shaped projectile points and charcoal dated at 5980 ± 50 years BP (LP-2133) and 7360 ± 120 BP (LP-2339). The Middle Component (C2) is dated at 2950 ± 90 BP (LP-2042; charcoal). Finally, the Upper Component (C3) contains small-stemmed triangular arrow-points and pottery fragments that were temporally assigned to the Late Prehispanic Period (1500-360 BP), even before having radiocarbon dates (Rivero, 2009).
