Insititute of Maya Studies Explorer Session:
"Costa Rica and Its Connections to Mesoamerican Archaeology”
Dr. Anne Stewart
Costa Rica is not only a land between two oceans, it is also a land between two continents. While it received its metal technology from the south, much of its ceramic motifs as well as jade arrived from the north via migrants from various parts of Mesoamerica. The presentation will also include a visit to the Precolumbian site of El Guayabo de Turrialba. The city, known as a chiefdom, was a key political, economic, and religious center.
