Description:
LA TUMBA T7 DE LA NECRÓPOLIS DE “EL CAÑO”, TRADICIÓN ARQUEOLÓGICA GRAN COCLÉ, ISTMO DE PANAMÁ.

Summary: A multiple burial, the tomb T7 -cal d. C. 770-905 (cal AP 1180-1045)/cal d. C. 920-965 (cal AP 1030-985)- with 43 individuals of different status, ages and sexes and a package of human bones, as well as post-burial ritual deposits, has recently been excavated in El Caño. Both the multiple burials and the post-burial ritual deposits had already been observed in other tombs of El Caño and their presence in tomb T7 has served to purify and define the basic funerary pattern of the site. High status symbols on the trousseau of one of the infants in the tomb may reflect an inherited social status.
