Información del recurso: What we present here is an archaeological study structured in three parts.
The first focuses on El Caño, a necropolis of the Greater Coclé archaeological tradition (ca. 700– 1000 CE), located on the west bank of the Río Grande in Central Panama. This encompasses two subjects:
1) hereditary inequality and
2) segregation according status

Información del recurso: Mediante técnicas de análisis de conglomerados (cluster analysis), análisis iconográficos y una precisa identificación de las secuencias estratigráficas en las tumbas excavadas, se puede concluir que aunque ambas sociedades eran sociedades jerarquizadas, El Caño era además una sociedad estratificada. Mientras que en Sitio Conte el estatus era adquirido, en El Caño el estatus tenía un fuerte componente hereditario cómo puede deducirse de la organización espacial de las tumbas y de los cuerpos y ofrendas que éstas contienen.

From the Introduction ...
In this volume, we seek to emphasize autochthonous creativity and diversity and to discard once and for all regressive notions of so-called intermediateness. This volume represents an evolving inquiry in which the authors interweave lineages of investigation with new approaches. Traditionally, scholars have framed discussions within archaeological subareas: Greater Nicoya, Greater Chiriqui, Greater Coclé, and Greater Darién, so named because their territorial spheres of influence are demonstrably"greater" than the geographic spaces designated by the toponyms from which they are derived. Joyce (this volume) emphasizes the advantages of an alternative paradigm, one that eschews the notion of territories and bounded areas in favor of a fresh approach addressing shared communities of practice and constellations of practice, thus shifting the focus onto the formation and dissemination of shared technologies and stylistic elements. We recognize that communities and constellations of practice entail activities that overlap, transcend, and defy categorization within conventional geographic or cultural boundaries. The phenomena we address are the legacies of people whose descendants are still living, who include more than half a million speakers of Indigenous languages, and the legacies of people whose Indigenous identity may not be explicit but whose genetic heritage carries evidence of Indigenous ancestry.
