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.
