Ancient carvings of crude design are found on the hard dense boulders along the streams 



physique of their ancestors. The ab-

 Relics of the tribes Columbus found 

 in Porto Rico are discovered in caves, 

 shell heaps, or about dwelling places. 



Very striking carvings of crude design 

 are not infrequent on the hard dense 

 boulders along the streams, especially 

 in the environs of Utuado. These 

 carvings are somewhat similar to the 

 pictographs of St. Vincent and other 

 Antilles and to the curious sculptures 

 of inland British Guiana.
