According to Paul Treutler, life at Tres Puntas (See
here) was quite special. Mainly the lack of ethics and morals plus
the absence of the law was quite significant. Many historical sources
report on the foul smell all over town. The reason was the custom
of using the bones and skulls of cattle to build fences around houses.
Until today in the sector of the ancient village you can find a huge
amount of skulls and bones.
