Interregional “Landscapes of Movement” and the La Unión Archaeological District of Northeastern Costa Rica INTERREGIONAL “LANDSCAPES OF MOVEMENT” AND THE LA UNIÓN ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISTRICT OF NORTHEASTERN COSTA RICA By Copyright 2012 Adam Kevin Benfer Submitted to the graduate degree program in the Department of Anthropology and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master’s of Arts. ______________________________ Dr. John W. Hoopes, Chairperson ______________________________ Dr. Peter H. Herlihy ______________________________ Dr. Frederic Sellet Date Defended: 4/12/2012 The Thesis Committee for Adam Kevin Benfer certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: INTERREGIONAL “LANDSCAPES OF MOVEMENT” AND THE LA UNIÓN ARCHAEOLOGICAL DISTRICT OF NORTHEASTERN COSTA RICA ______________________________ Dr. John W. Hoopes, Chairperson Date approved: 4/18/2012 ii ABSTRACT In Costa Rica and the Circum-Caribbean, identifying the locations, functions, and evolution of past networks of human movement contributes to understanding pre-Hispanic interregional interactions and exchanges. I hypothesize the existence of Period VI (A.D. 1000 – 1550) routes of interdistrict movement between the northeastern Caribbean Lowlands and the Central Highlands of Costa Rica. To test this hypothesis, I use a multiple-method approach: archival research of historic roads and paths, archaeological reconnaissance of late pre-Hispanic features, and geographic information systems (GIS) least cost path (LCP) and least cost corridor (LCC) analyses. I discuss the possible functions and evaluate the roles of these routes among other interconnected networks. While archaeologists have documented some pre-Hispanic roads and paths in Costa Rica, few pre-Hispanic interregional routes of human movement have been identified. During the Colonial Period, the Spanish utilized these same landscapes of movement and waterscapes of movement for their own transportation and communication. Since the use of some routes persist into the present, archival research can reveal routes of pre-Hispanic movement. The results of my investigations show that there is a relationship between the optimal (GIS modeled) and historical landscapes of movement with the archaeological evidence that such a route existed during the late pre-Hispanic. While a regional archaeological survey is required to identify the late pre-Hispanic network of movement, my multiple-method approach identifies segments of that network and examines how humans moved across the landscape of northwestern Costa Rica over one thousand years ago. Key words: Costa Rica, archaeology, Circum-Caribbean, pre-Hispanic Era, Cartago Phase, La Cabaña Phase, Caribbean Lowlands, Central Highlands, human movement, landscapes of movement, waterscapes of movement, Nuevo Corinto (L-72 NC), Las Flores (L-143 LF) iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I first took up the topic of the Central American pre-Hispanic roads and paths while I was studying abroad at the University of Costa Rica during the spring of 2008 in a course taught by Floria Arrea Siermann, who suggested the topic. Since 2008, I have received much guidance through this topic from Costa Rican colleagues: Dr. Silvia Salgado González, Dr. Eugenia Ibarra Rojas, Ricardo Vázquez Leiva, and Myrna Rojas Garro. Other Costa Rican colleagues, including Mónica Aguilar Bonilla, Marco Arce Cerdas, Sergio García Piedra, Carolina Cavallini Morales, Silvia Sanabria Hernández, María Ramírez Chinchilla, María Graciela Campos, Danny Orozco Solano, and Jeffrey Petroquín Gómez, inspired my research by lending me a helping hand or ear while I was conducting my research. Funding from the KU Center of Latin American Studies, the Tinker Foundation, and the KU Department of Anthropology made my 2010 field research possible. Additionally, this research was supported indirectly through a KU-UCR Partnership to John Hoopes and Silvia Salgado in 2008, a Franklin Research Grant from the American Philosophical Society to John Hoopes in 2009, and by a KU-UCR Partnership Award to John Hoopes, Silvia Salgado, Steven Bozarth, and Guaria Cárdenes in 2010 that supported ongoing archaeological field research, including reconnaissance, mapping, and excavations at Nuevo Corinto. My research would not have been possible without the assistance and guidance of many people. Sergio Barquero Ramírez and Rodolfo Tenorio Jiménez of Parque Nacional Braulio Carrillo respectively helped me with my research of the history and archaeology of the parks territory. Luis Sáenz Cruz deserves much thanks for his informed guidance when researching the Carrillo Road. The fantastic staff at the Archivo Nacional de Costa Rica and the Biblioteca Nacional de Costa Rica helped me navigate through the archival data to locate the crucial documents pertaining to the history of human movement through the Cordillera Central. The iv entire Rojas family deserves many thanks for their support of our research at the Nuevo Corinto Site. In particular, Isaías and Marta Arguedas extended much hospitality to me to me during my 2010 fieldwork, providing me a comfortable room, delicious food, and guidance within the community and landscape of La Unión. I would also like to thank Blanca Nieves Salguero Sánchez and her family who, back in 2008, introduced to me to Costa Rican culture and have provided me with a home away from home whenever I can make it back to Curridabat. At the University of Kansas, I received much advise over the years from Drs. Anita Hertzfeld, Jane W. Gibson, Frederic Sellet, Peter H. Herlihy, Donald D. Stull, and many of my professors. Most of all, the outstanding advise of my advisor, Dr. John W. Hoopes, helped me develop my research skills, refine my thesis questions, and establish my methodology in addition to providing me with much wisdom I will always carry. I owe much thanks to Antoinette C. Egitto, Greg L. Kauffman, Michael H. Davis, Kristina Sophia Della Davis, B.J. Gray, and the rest of my fellow graduate students in the Department of Anthropology for constant encouragement they provided me with while conducting my research and writing it up. Throughout the process of writing my thesis, I received amazing writing support and tutorship from Elizabeth Byleen, Rebecca Barrett-Fox, Liana Silva, Edma Ixchel Delgado, and Raven Naramore. Without help from Andrew S. Gottsfield, Michael P. Bergervoet, Antoinette C. Egitto, John H. Kelly, Andrew Hilburn, and Rhonda Houser could not have conquered the GIS portions of my thesis. In addition, I owe my parents and brothers gratitude for their encouraging words and never-ending support. Last, but not least, I owe everlasting gratefulness to Julian Rivera for never ceasing to love and encourage me even when Rico took priority. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction………………………………………………………………………..1 The Archaeology of Roads, Trails, and Paths……...……………………………………...3 The Archaeology of Landscapes of Movement in Costa Rica……….…………………...4 Objectives and Hypotheses………………………………………………………………..9 Preview of Methods…….………………………………………………………………..15 Chapter 2: Theory……………………………………………………………………………18 Landscape Archaeologies…………………………………………………………….….18 Direct Historical Approach……………………………………………………………....27 World-Systems Analyses………………………………………………………………...32 Chapter 3: The Central Region and Its Landscapes of Movement…………………….…….43 The Central Region as Part of the Isthmo-Colombian Area…………………………..…43 The Landscapes of Movement of the Central Region…………………………………...49 Discerning the Networks of Movement in the Central Region…………………….……75 Nuevo Corinto and the Archaeological Landscape of the La Unión District………..…..79 Chapter 4: Methods…………………………………………………………………………..89 Archival Research……………………………………………………………………..…89 Archaeological Reconnaissance…………...…………………………………….……….91 GIS Queries: Cost Surface Analyses….……………………………………….………...93 Chapter 5: Findings and Interpretations……………………………………..……...………105 Historical Landscapes of Movement.……………………………………..……………106 Archaeological Reconnaissance in Search of Pre-Hispanic Landscapes of Movement..118 Optimal Landscapes of Movement: LCPs and LCCs…………………………………..134 Final Interpretations: A Glimpse into the World-System….…………..……………….139 Chapter 6: Conclusions……………………………………………………………………..147 Glossary of Abbreviations and Unfamiliar Terms………………………………………….155 References Cited……………………………………………………………………………156 vi LIST OF FEATURES AND TABLES Figure 1: Location of Nuevo Corinto……………………………………………………………..2 Figure 2: Archaeological Sites with Road and Path Features in the Central Region……………..7 Figure 3: Study Area Map……………………………………………………………………..…..9 Figure 4: The Circum-Caribbean World………………………………………………….……...38 Figure 5: Map of Isthmo-Colombian Subareas………………………………………….……….46 Figure 6: Sites Discussed in the Literature Review…………………………………….………..49 Figure 7: Agua Caliente Site Plan……………………………………………………….……….52 Figure 8: Cutris Site Plan..……………………………………………………………….………57 Figure 9: Road Network of Cutris……………………………………………………….………59 Figure 10: Cubujuquí Site Plan……………………………………………………..…..……….60 Figure 11: Monumento Nacional Guayabo Site Plan…..……………………………….….……63 Figure 12: Monumento Nacional Guayabo and Associated Roads……………………….……..65 Figure 13: Williamsburg Site Plan……………………..…………………………………….….69 Figure 14: Las Mercedes-1 Site Plan……………………..……………………………….….….70 Figure 15: La Cabaña Site Plan……………………..…………………………………….….….73 Figure 16: Discerning the Network of Movement in the Central Region………………….........76 Figure 17: Nuevo Corinto Site Plan………………………………………………………..….…81 Figure 18: Las Flores Site Plan………………………………………………………………….83

  • The Prehistoric Civilizations of Nuclear America GORDON R
    The Prehistoric Civilizations of Nuclear America GORDON R. WILLEY H mwd University INTRODUCTION HE native agricultural civilizations of the New World had their begin- Tnings and their highest development in those areas that have been sub- sumed under the term “Nuclear America” (Kroeber 1948: 779). The desig- nation has both a geographical and a cultural connotation. The areas involved embrace central and southern Mexico, Central America, the north Andes, and Peru. This is the axis of aboriginal high culture in the Americas and, as such, the major center of prehistoric diffusion for the western hemisphere. To the best of our knowledge, it stands clearly apart and essentially independent from the comparable culture core of the Old World. Kroeber (1948: 784-85; 1952:377-95) has suggested the analogy between the American civilizational nucleus of Mexico-Peru and the “Oikoumene” of the Old World. Readapting the old Greek concept of the “inhabited” or civil- ized world (Kroeber 1952:379 and 392), he has defined the Oikoumene for purposes of culture-historical analysis as (‘ . the millennially interrelated higher civilizations in the connected mainland masses of the Eastern hemi- sphere,” and “as ’a great web of culture growth, areally extensive and rich in content.” It is, in effect, a vast diffusion sphere (see Hawkes 1954) interlinked across continents by common cultural content. The comparison with Nuclear America seems particularly apt. In both cases the great historic nexuses have considerable time depth at their centers, and in both they have influenced those cultures marginal to them at relatively later points on the time scale.

Hoopes, Editors published by Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection Washington, D.C. © 2003 Dumbarton Oaks Trustees for Harvard University Washington, D.C. Printed in the United States of America www.doaks.org/etexts.html The Political Economy of Pre-Colombian Goldwork: Four Examples from Northern South America Carl Henrik Langebaek Universidad de los Andes Introduction: The Problem ome twenty years ago, Alicia Dussán de Reichel (1979: 41) complained that studies that “set out to place the prehistoric metallurgy of Colombia within a wider context Sof cultural development” were not very numerous. Despite a great deal of research on Pre-Columbian goldwork since, the same observation remains true today. One source of frustration comes from the fact that most archaeologists focus on the study of metallurgy as a goal in itself. Although researchers have produced detailed descriptions about the techno- logical characteristics of Pre-Columbian goldwork (Scott 1981), timelines, definitions of “styles” and “traditions,” as well as correlations among styles across Colombia, Lower Central America, and Ecuador (Bray 1981; 1992a; 1997; Plazas and Falchetti 1983), and identifica- tions of plant and animal species represented in ornaments (Legast 1987), they have rarely placed goldwork within a social context (Looper 1996) or incorporated it in models related to social change. Whatever improvement in the research on Pre-Columbian metal objects there has been, further progress will be limited if it is not aimed at understanding the way societies function and change (Lechtman 1984).

    Volcanic Activity in Costa Rica in 2012 Official Annual Summary Turrialba volcano on January 18 th , 2012: central photo, the 2012 vent presents flamme due to the combustion of highly oxidant magmatic gas (photo: J.Pacheco). On the right, ash emission by the 2012 vent at 4:30am the same day (photo: G.Avard).On the left, incandescence is visible since then (photo: G.Avard 2-2-2012, 8pm). Geoffroy Avard, Javier Pacheco, María Martínez, Rodolfo van der Laat, Efraín Menjivar, Enrique Hernández, Tomás Marino, Wendy Sáenz, Jorge Brenes, Alejandro Aguero, Jackeline Soto, Jesus Martínez Observatorio Vulcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica OVSICORI-UNA 1 I_ Introduction At 8:42 a.m. on September 5 th , 2012, a Mw = 7.6 earthquake occurred 20 km south of Samara, Peninsula de Nicoya, Guanacaste. The maximum displacement was 2.5 m with a maximum vertical motion about 60 cm at Playa Sa Juanillo (OVSICORI Report on September 11 th , 2012). The fault displacement continued until the end of September through postseismic motions, slow earthquakes, viscoelastic response and aftershocks (> 2500 during the first 10 days following the Nicoya earthquake). The seismicity spread to most of the country (Fig.1) Figure 1: Seismicity in September 2012 and location of the main volcanoes. Yellow star: epicenter of the Nicoya seism on September 5 th , 2012 (Mw = 7.6). White arrow: direction of the displacement due to the Nicoya seism (map: Walter Jiménez Urrutia, Evelyn Núñez, y Floribeth Vega del grupo de sismología del OVSICORI-UNA). Regarding the volcanoes, the seism of Nicoya generated an important seismic activity especially in the volcanic complexes Irazú-Turrialba and Poás as well as an unusual seismic activity mainly for Miravalles, Tenorio and Platanar-Porvenir.
