Canashito is a limestone rock-shelter near Hooiberg, Santa Cruz, in central Aruba,[1][2] a significant settlement from the Ceramic Age/contact period. Shell food remains were discovered on the slope leading to the shelter entrance, and five human burials were found beneath the shelter. Radiocarbon dating of one of the skeletons provided a date equivalent to AD 83-394.[3]
