Pre-Hispanic Times in the Middle Course of the Cauca River - The first settlers of Quindío, Colombia

This book is conceived as a contribution to the presentation of a general panorama and a balance of the archaeological research carried out in the middle valley of the Cauca River, after several years of work and constant contributions to the pre-Hispanic knowledge of the area. However, its purpose is not to resolve current theoretical, conceptual and methodological debates, but rather to point out, through a judicious review of the results of the research efforts carried out up to the time of this publication, the advances and challenges for archaeological work in this cultural zone, with emphasis on those related to the Hoya del Quindío. Ultimately, it aims to become a reference framework text for future studies on pre-Hispanic Quindío.
