Cerro Mangote: foodways and coastal change

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The archive relates food deposits to a coast and river system that changed over time. Recent work considers deer procurement alongside coastal foods; garden-hunting is an interpretation.

Coastal food-remain and preservation context Holocene preceramic contexts; archive estimates begin approximately 7,800 years ago Shell and animal remains, deposits and changing coastal environments Aguadulce, Coclé, Panama (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumo

Ferramentas, práticas alimentares, casas e paisagens construídas

Conexões de terras altas, fluviais, insulares, do Pacífico e do Caribe

Aguadulce, Coclé, Panama is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Accumulated food refuse does not provide a complete census or a named ancient government.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Accumulated food refuse does not provide a complete census or a named ancient government. Cerro Mangote's sampled refuse and later shoreline position cannot represent every season or household; garden-hunting remains a tested interpretation.

Transformação imperial e colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Material styles and settlement evidence cannot identify every ancient speaker; living Indigenous language and membership authority remain distinct. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

A changing setting The archive relates food deposits to a coast and river system that changed over time.
