Fisheries | | Spanish term or phrase: conchas de puntas | En la época pre-inca, se establecieron en Tumbes concentraciones humanas dedicadas a la agricultura, pesca, caza y el comercio; la más importante fue el grupo cultural Tumpis, a quienes se les considera grandes navegantes. Además, sobresalieron por sus trabajos de tallado de valvas de moluscos (de la especie spondylluspictorum).
De esta época existen monumentos de valioso interés arqueológico como el complejo arquitectónico de Cabeza de Vaca. Destacaron en el tallado de valvas de *conchas de puntas*, pata de burro (Concha lapas peruana) y otros moluscos. |
