Humans settled Vallos at some time around 12,000 BC according to archaeological evidence, a relatively late date of settlement for most parts of the [[Occident]]. The earliest settlers exhibited a relatively similar {{wp|material culture}} to contemporary residents of what would become Pelaxia, suggesting a westward migration at that time. The Neolithic revolution occurred on Vallos to a limited extent, as large urban cities did not develop, but farming of local grasses and other flora made settled farm life viable. About forty percent of people in Vallos adopted agricultural lifestyles by 2000 BC. Society continued to develop, with indigenous prehistoric reaching its apex with the shark pottery culture, a material culture so named for the use of both shark teeth and bones as a crafting material in addition to the use of shark-related motifs on pottery. The shark pottery culture reached its peak around 1800 BC, just prior to the arrival of the first [[Heaven Ships]] and later arrival of the [[Polynesian people|Polynesians]]. Archaeologists have uncovered several urban centers of around a thousand people all along the eastern coast of Vallos which were likely fishing centers and the source of shark material. Shark pottery culture continued its existence following the arrivals of foreign culture groups, although archaeologists classify much of it as "late shark pottery" due to the introduction of foreign innovations.

Besides their material culture, virtually nothing is known about the indigenous Vallosi. With limited technological advancement relative to the arrivals and no system of writing, much of "pre-arrival" Vallos was lost within generations of the arrivals of the foreigners. Genetic testing suggests most people in Vallos have less than ten percent DNA from the original indigenous, suggesting near-total displacement by intermarriage and later waves of colonization.
