Central Atlantic Watershed
The Central American collection consists of ceramics, and a limited number of stone artifacts from Costa Rica, Panama, and Nicaragua. All of the items were donated and site affiliation is largely unavailable. The collections are arranged and described by cultural and temporal order, with representative items pictured below. The geographic/cultural areas of Costa Rica include the Greater Nicoya, the Diquis subregion, and the Central Region. The latter can be subdivided into to Atlantic Watershed and the central Mountain region.
