| Summary: | In Ecuador, the chronic economic and political instability did not favour the preservation of cultural patrimony by the authorities and looting. In contrast, the latter did constitute a possible way of increasing the low income of some rural communities. Regional survey represents a good alternative in this case in order to evaluate the archaeological potential of a region, which could provide development alternatives, and the evolution of settlement patterns. The results of 6 years of study (2002-2007), near Salango and Río Blanco, show more than five millennia of Prehispanic cultural history, from Valdivia II until the Manteño Period, as well as a clear increase in the density of settlement through time in correlation with the increasing complexity of these societies. |
