=== Archeology ===
Excavations in the Altiplano Cundiboyacense (the highlands of [[Cundinamarca Department|Cundinamarca]] and [[Boyacá Department|Boyacá]] departments) show evidence of human activity since the [[Archaic Period (Americas)|Archaic Period]] at the beginning of the [[Holocene]]. Colombia has one of the most ancient archaeological sites of the Americas: [[El Abra]], which is estimated to be approximately 13,000 years old. Other archaeological traces in the region of the Altiplano Cundiboyacense have led scholars to talk about an [[El Abra]] Culture: In [[Tibitó]], tools and other lithic artifacts date to 9740 BCE; on the Bogotá savanna, especially at [[Tequendama Falls]], other lithic tools dated a millennium later were found that belonged to specialized hunters. Human skeletons were found dating back to 5000 BCE, and an analysis demonstrated that the people were members of the El Abra culture.
