According to the theory that the American man came from Asia, entering through the Bering Strait about 25,000 years ago, settling in our territory about 10,000 years ago.
Vestiges of this settlement have been found in Sumpa, the name with which the natives referred to the tip of Santa Elena.
Edward Lanning was the one who called the settlements found the Vegas Complex, after the name of a river that only fills its bed when it rains.
The Vegas Society (10,000 BC – 4,400 BC), located within the hunter-gatherer era or pre-ceramic period.
Its inhabitants were semi-sedentary, hunter-gatherers and fishermen. They made weapons and tools from basalt, with which they hunted giant herbivores such as megatherium, mastodons, sabre-toothed tigers, and other smaller animals. Over time they developed horticulture, which would lead to the subsequent emergence of agriculture.
Archaeological excavations in the Las Vegas area have revealed stone-tipped knives, projectiles, spears, shell remains and bones of prehistoric megafauna. They made their own stone tools, fashioned small points from cane and wood; they made knives and scrapers, spears from stone and wood. Plant bark was used as containers.
In the cemetery of the Las Vegas site in Santa Elena (today the Amantes de Sumpa Museum) 200 human skeletons were discovered, and after studying them it was concluded that it was one of the healthiest groups known in the world, despite the fact that the infant mortality rate was high.
Among these was a primary double burial, popularly known as “Sumpa Lovers”, which corresponds to two young people (man and woman) placed in a horizontal position with their arms intertwined. Seven stones were found on them, placed in different places on the bodies, as if it were an act of stoning or some funeral rite.
