Slab Accumulation and Original Tomb

Living heritage

Accumulation of stones in a longitudinal form with an associated tomb. Dimensions: 295 × 423 × 170 cm. Stone accumulations in these regular positions may be associated with ritual functions, in addition to having been collected to clear cultivated fields.

Professor Llanos observed that accumulations of stones in conical or longitudinal form, due to their regular positioning in certain parts of the settlement, could be associated with ritual functions beyond their practical agricultural utility.

Documented heritage · UNAL · ICANH

Every lithic element at Vegonia was documented with the National University. The pieces were never moved to a museum: you see them exactly where they have rested for centuries.
