A village of the Valdivia culture of Ecuador, near the coast, occupied from c 3500-3000 BC. It had a formal layout, with an open plaza surrounded by elongated mounds of household rubbish. Excavation revealed large timber and thatch houses, one mound with offerings and a second with elaborate high-status burials. There is evidence for the emergence of an early complex social organization.
