Caota Plateau: Archaeological remains

In the region, lithic tools and worked stone fragments have been identified, indicating the presence of prehistoric human groups who used the plateau as an area for movement, shelter, and tool production. The geographical characteristics of the territory—altitude, ancient soils, and rocky outcrops—created favorable conditions for human occupation and for the preservation of these materials over thousands of years.
The remains of the Caota Plateau are part of a broader set of archaeological sites in Angola, reinforcing the country’s importance in the study of African prehistory and the evolution of the earliest human communities on the continent.
Today, this heritage represents a scientific, cultural, and historical value that must be protected and responsibly enhanced. With proper contextualization, the Caota Plateau can also be integrated into cultural and scientific tourism routes, contributing to the diversification of Benguela’s tourism offer.
