The board of Stone Age, hunters and collectors - beginning of agriculture (cazadores y recolectores - inicios de la agricultura)

This epoch of the hunters and collectors is defined at 16,000 to 6,000 B.C., and the beginning of agriculture is defined at 6,000 to 2,000 B.C.

[Well, in these times the gods came (they were extraterrestrials) and tought men how agriculture and administration function, and also the domestication of animals].

<The first inhabitants: hunters and gatherers (16,000-6,000 B.C.)

The peopling of the Andean America was initiated some 18,000 years ago by nomadic groups with an economy based on hunting of extinct megafauna (masatodons, saber tooth tiger, etc.) and gathering of fruits and roots; they used big and rough stone tools, worked by percussion. By 10,000 B.C. the megafauna is replaced by smaller species (deers, cameloids, etc.) and the lithic technology develops to more elaborated and smaller tools, especially projectile points.

Except by some Paijan type lithic points coming from the Pozo Santo vicinity, there is little evidence of early hunters and gatherers in the Ica region.>
[The real events were these ones with extraterrestrial gods - according to Erich von Däniken and many other indications:

Extraterrestrials came as gods to Earth: These were persons with a height of 5 or 6 meters (astronauts or persons with antennas on their heads etc.), and they tought to the little human beings (hunters and gatherers) step by step more and more agriculture and domestication of animals. Later these gods are painted on ceramics, are woven in fabric designs, and are presented in geoglyphs (line paintings and stone formations) and in petroglyphs (rock painting). Unfortunately rock paintings are not shown in the Regional Museum of Ica. Also the engraved stones of Ica are missing completely. By the events with the extraterrestrial gods there came up religious cults and adorations, above all after they had left the Earth].

Text about domestication of hunters and gatherers with agriculture

<The beginnings of plant and animal domestication (6,000-2,000 B.C.)

By 5,000 B.C. man began to domesticate plants and animals producing his own food, living in permanent villages, and making the first textiles from plant fibers like cotton and reeds.

Lithic artifacts belonging to fishing and seafood gathering groups were left 8,000 years ago in San Nicolas Bay south Nasca. At Pampa Santo Domingo, Paracas Bay, Frederic Engel discovered a fishing village with some plant remains like cotton and jiquima, the latter and Andean tuber, indicating an incipient agriculture. The Santo Domingo dwelling were very simple and similar to those found at Chilca 5,000 B.C. Presence of early farming has too been recorded in the Rio Grande valley.>
