El Caño Archaeological Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
El Caño is one of Panama's most important archaeological sites, located in the area surrounding El Caño. Over the course of the 20th century archaeologists have been discovering several pre-Columbian burial sites at this location that are believed to date between 700 and 1000 AD.[1] These burial sites have helped researchers gain a better understanding of the dynamic system of the hierarchical chiefdom-based societies created by the people who lived in this region of Central America before contact with Europeans.
