The Levisa Rock Shelter is a prehistoric site in which country?

Cuba is the largest of the Caribbean islands and one of the closest to the mainland. People, probably coming from Central America, first settled on Cuba around 4200 BC.

Many of the oldest sites in Cuba are located in caves and rock shelters on the interior valleys and along the coast. Among these, the Levisa rock shelter, in the Levisa river valley, near the Gulf of Nipe, is the most ancient, dating to about 4000 BC. Levisa represents one of the earliest occupations of the West Indies. Archaic period sites usually include workshops with stone tools, such as small blades, hammer stones and polished stone balls, shell artifacts, and pendants. In few of these cave sites, burial areas and examples of pictographs have been recorded.

Most of these ancient sites were located along the coast and the change in sea levels has now submerged any evidence. In Western Cuba, hunter-gatherer groups, such as the early Ciboneys, maintained this pre-ceramic lifestyle well into the fifteenth century and after.
