During the last 10,000 years, the different populations that inhabited this region interacted and developed diverse social, economic and political strategies covering a wide spectrum ranging from hunter-gatherer societies to the organization of states that were in full operation at the time of the Spanish conquest of America. This museum harbors a ceramic piece belonging to the Aguada culture, a stone sculpture, "The suppliant", belonging to the Alamito -Condor Huasi culture, and two discovered naturally mummified Indian bodies dating back to 1470 and 1590.
These two bodies are preserves in a double glass case equipped with a thermostat for controlling the temperature.
