This cryptoarchaeological
artifact, which exquisite in design and construction, represents one of the
very few examples of wheels used in Pre-columbian Mesoamerica.
It is unclear what the
wheel's purpose is in this design - it is similar to a tool used in leather
working, but clearly this piece it too well crafted for such a purpose. |

representing a bat-human demon figure, likely based on the leaf-nosed bat
given the thin up-curled snout. A double curled form, perhaps a fantastical
bifurcated tongue or serpents, emerges from his mouth and is grasped by his
hands at either side of his chest. A wide two-band element curls upward from
his groin area. A wide ring attached to the back of the neck area allows for
suspension on a cord.

C o c l é
Coclé is a province of central
Panama on
the nation's southern coast.
During
pre-Columbian times, the area of Panama which today includes
Coclé province had a number of identifiable native cultures.
Archaeologists have loosely designated these cultures by
pottery style. The poorly studied La Mula period ranged from 150
BC to AD 300. It was followed by the Tonosi period, from AD 300 to
AD 550, and by the Cubita period, from AD 550 to AD 700. A unified
Native American culture appears to have flourished in this area
from approximately 1200 BC until the
16th century.
Archaeologists working
at intervals since the
1920s
have uncovered ruins and burials which contain striking artifacts.
These include worked
gold
and other
metals, carved
bone
and whale
ivory,
textiles,
jewelry with semi-precious stones and pottery. Coclé gold work
was traded throughout the region, and has been found as far away as
Chichen Itza in
Yucatán. The large collection of Coclé pre-historic pottery is
notable for strong structural design and the use of fish, bird,
animal and human figures as decoration.
In the 1920s, at least
one major archaeological site,
Sitio Conte, was so badly damaged by an unprofessional excavator
that much of its history is lost. In the 1930s and 1940, Sitio Conte
was extensively excavated by Harvard archaeologist Samuel K. Lothrop
and University of Pennsylvania archaeologist J. Alden Mason, each of
whom published their findings. A modest museum on that site displays
artifacts and site history. A second site, El Caño, was more
professionally explored and provides valuable information about the
Coclé culture. A portion of Coclé's archaeological sites have been
designated as the Gran Coclé Culture Area.
Harvard University's Peabody Museum of Archaeology and
Ethnology, Cambridge, Massachusetts, published two major works, in
1937 and 1942 respectively, on later excavations in Coclé.
