In-Depth Information
The excavation was undertaken by the Carnegie Foundation in 1941 and 1942, and un-
earthed 14 layers, or 4m, of earth. They found some later Chorotega ceramics (about 2m
down) and other intriguing artifacts, though there's no money to take it further. There is,
however, a nifty on-site museum, with human skulls, a fossilized bison track and lots of
ceramics, and your fee includes a Spanish-language tour of the whole shebang. Don't skip
this one; it's an international treasure.
The best way here is by taxi (US$2 to US$4 per person).
