Diquís Settlement

739
This model highlights a dynamic Diquís settlement from 700–1500, blending ritual ceremony with everyday activity. While one group gathers at the plaza before carved spheres and elevated structures, others socialize, work, or rest. Such spatial organization reflects a society where sacred, political, and domestic life were deeply interwoven.
