"For the first time, an exhibition of archaeological materials excavated by scientific techniques is presented on a site of Culebra Bay known as Jícaro. The site, located in the northwest of the country, has special conservation characteristics that allowed the survival of both skeletal remains and shells, allowing a better interpretation of the life form and funerary customs of the pre-Hispanic communities that inhabited the zone."--Introduction, page 131.
