Lithic Basins (concave-carved structures)

Lithic Basins (concave-carved structures)

Volcanic rock structures with concave-carved cavities. They functioned as ritual or domestic containers. Registered in ICANH Resolution 1457 of 2023 as a slab lot.

The basins or concave structures are lithic containers of the ancestral culture of the Upper Magdalena. At the Vegonia site, three of these structures are found under a shelter, with a view of the Granates River valley and the Central Cordillera. They represent one of the most distinctive sets on the trail.
