“…(Dickau et al 2015). Several are associated with stemmed and barbed points (Aceituno and Loaiza 2014;Cano et al 2021;Herrera 2019). These stemmed and barbed points (Figures 2k-2l) are similar to others recovered from the Magdalena River, also in northern Colombia, dating from between 10,000 and 7000 cal b.c.…”

Data from rock shelters in southern Belize show evidence of tool making, hunting, and aquatic resource exploitation by 10,500 cal b.c.; the shelters functioned as mortuary sites between 7600 and 2000 cal b.c. Early Holocene contexts contain stemmed and barbed bifaces as part of a tradition found broadly throughout the neotropics. After around 6000 cal b.c., bifacial tools largely disappear from the record, likely reflecting a shift to increasing reliance on plant foods, around the same time that the earliest domesticates appear in the archaeological record in the neotropics. We suggest that people living in southern Belize maintained close ties with neighbors to the south during the Early Holocene, but lagged behind in innovating new crops and farming technologies during the Middle Holocene. Maize farming in Belize intensified between 2750–2050 cal b.c. as maize became a dietary staple, 1000–1300 years later than in South America. Overall, we argue from multiple lines of data that the Neotropics of Central and South America were an area of shared information and technologies that heavily influenced cultural developments in southeastern Mesoamerica during the Early and Middle Holocene.

“…In Cauca, on the other hand, the amount of debitage and tools recovered from sites is much lower and, except for the quartz assemblage found at El Antojo (Aceituno and Loaiza 2007), recovered tools are manufactured from local volcanic rocks. Meanwhile, in the Middle Cauca, two projectile points were re-covered, one in quartz and another one in chert (Figure 5.2 N-O; Herrera et al 2011).…”
