The written history of human settlement in the Dizzy Valley, nestled in the Vertigo Mountains of South America, begins with the arrival of Spanish Jesuit missionaries. However, archaeological excavations conducted by Dr. Trowel and her 30-member team revealed a vibrant and growing native population long before the arrival of European missionaries. The settlement of these Aboriginal people can be dated as early as 9000 BC and can be divided into four periods; the early period, the middle period, the late period and the colonial period. Each time period represents a unique era in the history of the Dizzy Valley people in their dietary and subsistence techniques, settlement arrangements, and commercial and social structures. Trowel's research identifies that the first settlement period of Dizzy Valley dates back at least 11,000 years. before the present day. Known as the First Period, the native inhabitants of Dizzy Valley lived nomadically, probably stopping only occasionally in the valley. The settlements used were extremely small and scattered throughout the valley. Excavations have yielded few discoveries of man-made artifacts. Arrangements of stones have been found as possible windbreaks, stone hearths and small tools. Additionally, bones of wild guanaco and wild Andean deer have been found, providing clues to a meat-based diet. It appears that trade was quite limited and most items remained within one community as no pottery has been found and the tools were probably made by those who used them. While it is possible, a belief system or culture is quite difficult to deduce as the remains are sparse. The next period identified was the Middle Period which occurred between 4000 BC and 100... middle of paper.... ..in their attempts to civilize the natives by forcing them to abandon their previous religious identities, the natives of the Dizzy Valley have been able to maintain some ancient traditions. Although the dead are remembered by crosses, the dead are still buried with the black-on-white pottery that has been present since the Middle Period. This practice is a unique act that represents the natives' desire to cling to their previous religious identities. Towel's excavations and subsequent research gave students clues to the daily lives of the inhabitants of Dizzy Valley in the Vertigo Mountains of South America. Discoveries about the evolution of diet and subsistence strategies, settlement patterns, and commercial and social structures over eleven millennia have allowed researchers to formulate plausible hypotheses about the complex lifestyle of the inhabitants of Dizzy Valley.
