Tibitó: open-air evidence and megafauna-association limits

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

Correal's monograph documents the Tibitó investigation and its proposed relationship between cultural materials and Pleistocene fauna. The contemporary preliminary report places Tibitó among distinct regional projects, not one uniform highland economy.

Open-air assemblage and association-debate context Proposed terminal Pleistocene evidence; the traditional approximately 11,740 radiocarbon BP association is contested Stone and animal materials, stratigraphic records and technological reanalysis Tocancipá, Cundinamarca, Colombia (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumen

Refugios, aldeas, paisajes y evidencias

Conexiones de tierras altas, valles, bosques y el Pacífico

Tocancipá, Cundinamarca, Colombia is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. An animal concentration and a small lithic sample cannot reveal a whole settlement or regional government.

Organización política y escala comunitaria

An animal concentration and a small lithic sample cannot reveal a whole settlement or regional government. Tibitó's proposed butchery and early occupation require scrutiny of geofacts, artifact provenance and stratigraphic association; animal antiquity alone does not prove a human event.

Transformación imperial y colonial, patrimonio vivo y recepción moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological materials do not identify every speaker; living communities' public names and language authority cannot be inferred from tool or pottery styles. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Original study Correal's monograph documents the Tibitó investigation and its proposed relationship between cultural materials and Pleistocene fauna.

Critical reanalysis The 2017 study identified natural pieces and weak associations within the reviewed assemblages, limiting firm conclusions about the oldest occupation.
