Morales said “Both pieces will be subject to investigation and these findings also ratifies the archaeological potential of the area where they were found, which would be added to the rich heritage of the island.”
Juan Jimenez explained that before any finding of this type of heritage, the established protocol should be followed, and immediately notify SEPRONA or Environmental Government Agents, who will transfer the pieces to the Historical Heritage technicians to establish their historical, cultural and ethnographic value.”
Luis Mata stressed “There is an importance for protecting and researching the heritage of Fuerteventura, and fundamental for this will be the forthcoming opening of the Insular Archaeological Museum of Betancuria.
