There were also fossilized remains of bird eggshells and cactus seeds, which meant the camp was inhabited during the dry season.

Furthermore, the researchers detected traces of red ocher, a natural clay earth pigment that the occupants of the camp must have ground up.

The prehistoric camp is just one of multiple similar sites that have been uncovered in the Tagua Tagua region.

The frequency of the presence of these camps in the region suggests that the area was a central location for hunter-gatherers during the late Pleistocene era since it was filled with an abundance of resources.
