Archaeologists working at the El Caño Archaeological Park, a site dating back to 750 CE, have unearthed a tomb that has left them awestruck. Linette Montenegro, National Heritage Director of the Ministry of Culture (MiCultura), explained that this remarkable find is part of the ongoing archeological project in the park.
Within the tomb, researchers uncovered a wealth of funerary offerings that provide a tantalizing glimpse into the cultural and social richness of the Coclé society. Among the treasures found were ceramic and gold artifacts, including stunning pectorals, intricate belts adorned with gold beads, exquisite bracelets, and earrings meticulously crafted in the shape of human figures and double crocodiles.
But the riches didn't stop there! The tomb also yielded a necklace of circular beads, two bells, bracelets, and a skirt made with dog teeth – a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of the Coclé people. Perhaps the most captivating find was a set of bone flutes, hinting at the presence of music and ritual in their funerary practices.
