En base a investigaciones recientes se presentan en este trabajo dos alternativas para explicar: a) la no popularización del sistema de campos elevados en los Llanos Occidentales y b) la funcionalidad de las "calzadas". En el primer caso, se sugiere que la población prehispánica haya hecho un mayor uso de las múltiples estructuras naturales (bancos, viejosn cauces, etc), que existen en la zona, y que son el resultado de la intensa actividad fluvial. En segundo término, se sugiere que las "calzadas" hayan servido como diques de retención de agua, destinados a una intensa explotación de los recursos acuáticos.Downloads
