Extract

In the latter part of January, 1956, the Universidad Central de Venezuela commissioned me to explore the region of Pedregal in the State of Falcón, northwestern Venezuela (Fig. 1). For some years, I had been thinking that it should be possible to encounter traces of the paleo-Indian in this part of Venezuela. I based this inference especially on drawings of fragmentary chipped stone artifacts from there published by Nomland (1935: 100, Fig. 20 h-1).
