Prior to the establishment of the Luson Province, all of which is today modern Cartadania, the area was inhabited by various native peoples. Unlike its southern neighbor, Pelaxia, Cartadania was shielded by natural features on all sides, delaying the arrival of Latin peoples to northern [[Sarpedon]]. The Turian ridge made it more difficult for [[Caphiria|terra quaesitores]] to reach the area, and the four seas that border the country made it more expensive for other nations to make a permanent settlement there. | Prior to the establishment of the Luson Province, all of which is today modern Cartadania, the area was inhabited by various native peoples.

The earliest human remains found in northern Sarpedon, Mulher | The earliest human remains found in northern Sarpedon, Mulher Cascália, were found in the area of present-day [[Cascália]] and provide evidence of human habitation going back at least 11,000 years. The earliest pottery ever found on the Odridian peninsula was excavated in the Turian basin of Cartadania and radiocarbon dated to 8,000 years ago (6000 BC). The pottery was found near southern Verona where it meets the Bay of Attalus and provides evidence that the tropical forest region supported a somewhat complex prehistoric culture. Cartadania is the site of the domestication of pineapple, cacão, tomato, and cassava, which produced an agricultural surplus. This enabled the transition from paleo-Sarpedonic hunter-gatherers to sedentary agricultural villages beginning around 5000 BC. | ||
The earliest complex civilization in Cartadania was the [[Adonerum|Adonerii culture]], which flourished on the Urlazian and Odoneru coasts from around the 14th century BC. Adoneri cultural traits diffused through eastern Cartadania into other formative-era cultures in Alexandria, São Ricardo, Verona, and the Urlazian states. The formative period saw the spread of distinct religious and symbolic traditions, as well as artistic and architectural complexes. | The earliest complex civilization in Cartadania was the [[Adonerum|Adonerii culture]], which flourished on the Urlazian and Odoneru coasts from around the 14th century BC.

Around the time of the Caphirian arrival circa 370BC, the territory of current-day Cartadania had an estimated indigenous population of 7 million people, mostly semi-nomadic who subsisted on hunting, fishing, gathering, and migrant agriculture. The indigenous population of Cartadania comprised several large indigenous ethnic groups (e.g. the Ettian, Linaca, Lombards, Veronese). There were also many subdivisions of the groups. | Around the time of the Caphirian arrival circa 370BC, the territory of current-day Cartadania had an estimated indigenous population of 7 million people, mostly semi-nomadic who subsisted on hunting, fishing, gathering, and migrant agriculture.
