The panamerican road construction that links Chile from North to South, stumbles with the biggest archaeological site of the Coquimbo region: El Olivar, a 40 hectares native settlement which houses numerous prehistoric tombs from different cultures, among them, the peak of the Diaguita culture. The Diaguitas (800 - 1536 a.C.), studied by archaeologists since 1920 onwards, and well-known for their sophisticated pottery and geometric patterns, reveals more than 700 years of chilean prehistoric times and their connection to the territory, discovering this time, a profound conception about time and death.
