Sitio Barriles, Panama

Ubicado en las tierras altas occidental de Panamá, cerca del pueblo el Volcán, Sitio Barriles es uno de los sitios arqueológicos más importantes en Panamá, los elementos recuperados aquí se remontan de 60 a.C. Venían de un pueblo rural antiguo conocido como Barriles, que se cree que han vivido aquí desde 734 a.C

Hoy en día, no hay mucho que ver, aparte de agujeros de excavación y algunos petroglifos. Aún así, es increíble estar en un lugar que los seres humanos han habitado desde hace más de 2.500 años.

No se sabe mucho acerca de la cultura de los Barriles. Se cree que habían incluido cuatro docenas de asentamientos y entre 500 y 1.000 personas. Este sitio en particular fue probablemente un centro ceremonial.
El Volcán Barú hizo erupción en el año 600 d.C y probablemente perturbo las personas de Barriles. Sin embargo, Sitio Barriles está lo suficientemente lejos y puede ser que permaneció poblado hasta 800 d. C.
Catorce estatuas de piedra fueron descubiertas aquí a finales de 1940. Diez de ellas representan a un hombre con un sombrero cónico en los hombros de otro hombre. Los estudios sostienen, que puede sugerir pruebas sobre las clases sociales altas y bajas, dentro de la cultura de Barriles.

Otros objetos encontrados aquí incluyen piedras en forma de barril y una piedra de moler, este último se cree que es evidencia de la violencia o incluso sacrificios humanos. La mayor parte de las estatuas están ahora en exhibición en el Museo de Antropología de la Ciudad de Panamá.

El sitio es accesible al público a través de la Finca Landau (una granja privada). La familia que dirige el sitio tiene varios objetos en exhibición y cuentan con un museo pequeño. Ofrecen visitas guiadas en español e inglés.

Excellent!
