Établissements de chefferies précolombiennes avec des sphères mégalithiques du Diquís
This cultural site in Costa Rica encompasses the archaeological remains of pre-Columbian chiefdoms located in the Diquís region, notable for their distinctive megalithic stone spheres. The site preserves evidence of complex societies that flourished in this area prior to European contact, demonstrating sophisticated settlement patterns and social organization. The megalithic spheres, which vary in size and remain partially buried in the landscape, represent a remarkable archaeological phenomenon whose exact purpose and construction methods continue to be subjects of scholarly investigation. Located in the southwestern Pacific zone of Costa Rica, the site reflects the cultural and technological achievements of the region's pre-Columbian inhabitants. The combination of residential structures, ceremonial spaces, and monumental stone sculptures provides insight into the religious beliefs, artistic traditions, and daily life of these ancient communities.
