Las Mercedes-1: Caribbean built landscapes

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

The excavation study uses dates and architectural relations to examine when major works were made. The later synthesis separates a long settlement record from the better-dated monumental phase.

Settlement architecture and political-scale context Earlier occupations and major built phases around 1000–1200 CE; later use separately considered Radiocarbon determinations, built features, surveys and collection history Guácimo, Limón, Costa Rica (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.
概览

Tools, foodways, households, and built landscapes

Highland, river, island, Pacific, and Caribbean connections

Guácimo, Limón, Costa Rica is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Architectural differences support models of local hierarchy, not one homogeneous Caribbean nation.

Political organization and community scale

Architectural differences support models of local hierarchy, not one homogeneous Caribbean nation. Las Mercedes-1 is the Costa Rican site, not an Argentine archaeological classification; roads and leadership models do not establish fixed sovereignty.

Imperial and colonial transformation, living heritage, and modern reception

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological names do not identify every ancient speaker; living Bribri, Cabécar, Boruca, Brörán, Ngäbe, Buglé, Guna and other peoples retain their own language and institutional authority. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Built phases The excavation study uses dates and architectural relations to examine when major works were made.

历史序列

简洁、来源化的时间表

这些里程碑是指向点,而不是完整的历史.

  1. Before monumental construction

    Earlier material does not date all visible architecture.

  2. Major building works

    The interpretation concerns sampled structures rather than every regional settlement.

  3. Uses change

    Reuse complicates a single-purpose reading of the complex.

  4. Architectural studies

    Excavations and regional syntheses revisited chronological and political models.
