Precolumbian Chiefdom Settlements with Stone Spheres of the Diquís
The property comprises four archaeological sites in the Diquis Delta in southern Costa Rica, which are considered unique examples of a complex social, economic and political system from the period 500-1500 AD. They contain artificial mounds, paved areas, tombs and, most importantly, a group of stone spheres ranging from 0.7 to 2.57 meters in diameter, whose meaning, purpose and production remain largely a mystery. The spheres are unique for their perfection, number, size and density, as well as their placement in their original location. The spheres have been spared from looting, which has been the case with the vast majority of archaeological sites in Costa Rica, thanks to thick layers of sediment that have buried them for centuries.
