Specifically, it is common to resort to the use of so-called pristine civilizations , which define the first forms of socio-political organization that existed in a certain area.

Pristine, in this case, is precisely the opposite of what the original meaning implies, collected by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) : «Look at the sneakers I found on the street: they are pristine, they seem to have no use» , «The automobile "It was pristine after washing."
