Summary
Abstract: In 1972 the biologist, Dr.Victor Ariel Gallardo, recovered benthonic
samples from the bottom of Admiralty and Chile Bay, in the South part of King
George Island, for biological purposes. During his lab analysis, he found two
different projectile points in separate plastic bottles. Archaeological studies
of the artifacts and the place where they where discovered, proved that that
these points where not originally from that place, but they were introduced by
unknown people during the transportation or during its stay in the laboratory
(Concepcion). During the field work, a survey was done in Admiralty Bay and
on the North coast of King George Island, finding numerous historical sites,
one of which "Cuatro Pircas", was excavated the following year.
