Archaeological excavations at Playa Chica in the Canary Islands have uncovered evidence of a significant pre-European maritime industry operated by Berber populations between the 11th and 13th centuries. The site contains thousands of fish scales, hooks crafted from pig tusks, and goat horns repurposed as scrapers, indicating extensive fish processing and preservation activities. Researchers identified 29 hearths, suggesting a dedicated coastal workshop was in operation. This discovery sheds light on the previously underdocumented maritime capabilities and economic practices of the Amazigh (Berber) people before European contact. The findings demonstrate a sophisticated level of resource management and craftsmanship. This site provides valuable insights into the historical relationship between the Canary Islands and North African communities. The research highlights the importance of archaeological work in revealing previously unknown aspects of pre-colonial history.
