Synopsis

Explore early archaeological fieldwork along Costa Rica’s Atlantic coast and the methods that opened a largely unknown past.

The book surveys the beginnings of Hartman’s Costa Rican investigations, begun in 1896, with later work on the Atlantic coast and inland valleys. It describes the challenges of working in dense forests and high humidity, the rail line that made distant sites accessible, and the people and places that shaped the research. The narrative centers on field methods, site discoveries, and the kinds of artifacts uncovered during these pioneering explorations.

  • See how fieldwork began on the Atlantic Coast and how locations were chosen for excavation.
  • Learn about the types of burials and artifacts found, including cists, bowls, and decorative designs.
  • Understand the practical challenges of conducting archaeology in tropical forests and humid climates.
  • Get a sense of the historical context that framed early Central American archaeology.
Ideal for readers interested in the origins of archaeology in Central America, field methods, and the Atlantic coast’s archaeological record, as presented in Atlantic Fieldwork in Costa Rica: Early archaeological explorations, discoveries, and methods along the Atlantic coast.
