More than a dozen dwelling, ritual and funerary sites, some of them more than 1,000 years old, were located inside shallow caves at Barranca de la Sinforosa (Sinforosa Gully), Chihuahua. According to preliminary studies, vestiges could correspond to Tubar people, an indigenous group that isolated in Tarahumara Mountain Range during Colonial times to avoid evangelization, and extinguished in late 19th century. Nine dwelling sites, 2 ceremonial and 2 of funerary character were found in Ohuivo, Chorogue, Zapuri and Güerachi localities of Guachochi municipality in Chihuahua... 3 types of sites were identified, which, according to architecture, burial system and regional research references, are dated in 16th-17th centuries, while others could go back to 11th century of the Common Era... at funerary sites detected in rocky shelters, 5 individuals were found: 2 children and 3 young persons, which remains have been dated between 1000 and 1450 AD. In a cave at least 6 individuals of both genders and different ages were located; these rests date from 16th or 17th centuries of the Common Era. Skeletons were found disperse, they were not placed in specific positions.

Somehow, I think this new tribe will result in our having more casinos.

;’) After we got them back home, they all turned out to be rats.

[SunkenCiv]

There are dobermans with chunks bigger than that in their stool. ;’)

Great how the colors are.

while others could go back to 11th century of the Common Era.

"Common Era." Another PC construct designed to erase our Christian roots. The proper term is AD, short for Anno Domini. The Left are pros at murdering our language as well as people.

Under Leftism, the future is known. It is the past that is uncertain.

I know how they feel considering the number of Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons that come knocking on my door.

at funerary sites detected in rocky shelters, 5 individuals were found: 2 children and 3 young persons, which remains have been dated between 1000 and 1450 AD.

What colonization was going at that time?

Not to be confused with the closely related northern cousin:

? The Aztecs entered the valley of Mexico from the north... probably should look that up, but I’ve got to run errands and have spent too much time online already. :’)
