Artefact Artifact Costa Rica Costa Rican Pool Preceding Archeological Site Turrialba
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back in time to an excavated site of a pre-Columbian city, the Guayabo National Monument in Turrialba, Costa Rica. The image showcases a fascinating combination of two distinct elements: a drinking pool and a decorated grinding stone. The drinking pool, located outside amidst the remnants of this ancient civilization, serves as a testament to their advanced understanding of water management and communal gathering spaces. Its presence hints at the importance placed on social interaction and sustenance within this once-thriving community. Adjacent to the pool stands an intricately adorned grinding stone, serving as both an artifact and symbol of daily life during that era. This contemporary photograph allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship and artistic expression embedded within such utilitarian objects. The color palette captured by Pearl Bucknall/Robert Harding adds depth and vibrancy to this archaeological site. It invites viewers to imagine what life was like for those who inhabited these lands centuries ago. As we gaze upon this horizontal composition, we are reminded of Costa Rica's rich history and its significance within Central America. This travel destination holds countless treasures waiting to be discovered by adventurous souls seeking connection with past civilizations
