| その他の書誌記述: | Introduction: Archeological research revealed a site that has remained safe of the vulnerability exert by water overloads in a highly geodynamic environment. This case provides a perspective for risk assessment, in reference to ancestral settlements. Objective: To assess a 2300-year trajectory in an archaeological site that includes architectural structures, as an example on resilience within a mega alluvial fan in interaction with a neighboring settlement and riverine communication. Methodology: A reference report was used as guidance on ceramic chronology, also planimetric drawing, geospatial and architectural analyses served for characterizing the site and its adjustment to the natural surroundings. In addition, informants' accounts allow significant artifacts to be recontextualized. Results: Ceramic and architectural data indicate 600-900 A.D. as age range for dating the architectural village under study. In spite of close proximity to rivers with high flow rates, the site does not present invasive effects of floods or alluvial avalanches. Fluvial transportation by canoeing should have had high importance, in congruence with the construction design of the settlement that is attributable to chiefly governance. The recontextualized artifacts correspond to war instruments and a monolith that suggests a notion on stone spheres of the Costa Rican south. [Continue reading the article] |
