In this period, hunters and gatherers of megafauna started to turn to other food sources and established the first tribal structures. Pre Columbian Venezuela had an estimated population of one million. In addition to indigenous peoples known today, the population included historic groups such as the Kalina Caribs, Auak, Caquetio, Mariche, and Timoto Cuicas. The Timoto Cuica culture was the most complex society in Pre Columbian Venezuela with pre planned permanent villages, surrounded by irrigated, terraced fields. They also stored water in tanks. Their houses were made primarily of stone and wood with thatched roofs. They were peaceful, for the most part, and depended on growing crops. Regional crops included potatoes and ullucos. They left behind works of art, particularly anthropomorphic ceramics, but no major monuments. They spun vegetable fibers to weave into textiles and mats for housing. They are credited with having invented the arepa, a staple of Venezuelan cuisine. Beginning around 1,0. B. P., archaeologists speak of the Neo Indian period, which ends with the European Conquest and Colony period. In the 1. 6th century, when Spanish colonization began in Venezuelan territory, the population of several indigenous peoples, such as the Mariches descendants of the Caribes, declined. Historianswho have proposed many reasons for this decline, including exposure to European diseases and the systematic elimination of indigenous tribes for control of resources valued in Europe. Native caciques leaders, such as Guaicaipuro and Tamanaco, attempted to resist Spanish incursions, but the newcomers ultimately subdued them. Historians agree that the founder of Caracas, Diego de Losada, ultimately put Tamanaco to death. Spanish ruleeditChristopher Columbus sailed along the eastern coast of Venezuela on his third voyage in 1. South American mainland. This expedition discovered the so called Pearl Islands of Cubagua and Margarita off the northeastern coast of Venezuela. Later Spanish expeditions returned to exploit these islands abundant pearl oysters, enslaving the indigenous people of the islands and harvesting the pearls intensively. They became one of the most valuable resources of the incipient Spanish Empire in the Americas between 1.

Augsburg based Welser banking family obtained colonial rights in the Province of Venezuela in return for debts owed by Charles I of Spain. The primary motivation was the search for the legendary golden city of El Dorado. The venture was led at first by Ambrosius Ehinger, who founded Maracaibo in 1. After the deaths of first Ehinger and then his successor Georg von Speyer, Philipp von Hutten continued exploration in the interior, and in his absence from the capital of the province the crown of Spain claimed the right to appoint the governor.

The opening of gold mines at Yaracuy led to the introduction of slaverywhen, at first involving the indigenous population, then imported Africans. The first real economic success of the colony involved the raising of livestock, much helped by the grassy plains known as llanos. The society that developed as a result a handful of Spanish landowners and widely dispersed native herdsmen on Spanish introduced horses recalls primitive feudalism, certainly a powerful concept in the 1. Spanish imagination that perhaps more fruitfully bears comparison in economic terms with the latifundia of antiquity. During the 1. 6th and 1. Venezuela suffered relative neglect. The Viceroyalties of New Spain and Peru located on the sites that had been occupied by the capital cities of the Aztecs and Incas, respectively showed more interest in their nearby gold and silver mines than in the remote agricultural societies of Venezuela. Responsibility for the Venezuelan territories shifted to and between the two viceroyalties. In the 1. 8th century, a second Venezuelan society formed along the coast with the establishment of cocoa plantations manned by much larger importations of African slaves. Quite a number of black slaves also worked in the haciendas of the grassy llanos. Most of the Amerindians who still survived had perforce migrated to the plains and jungles to the south, where only Spanish friars took an interest in them especially the Franciscans or Capucins, who compiled grammars and small lexicons for some of their languages.
