Name

This cultural classification comes from adding the suffix "oid" to the sites where these unique pottery styles were first recognised; thus the name Saladoid, from name of the modern settlement of Saladero, is used by archaeologists to identify the peoples of the early ceramic age.

Chronology

The Saladoid period includes four subcultures, defined by ceramic styles.
*Hacienda Grande culture (250 BCE-300 CE)
*Cuevas culture
