Grijalba-2: Diquís household platforms and building choices

Reviewed community and place names are preserved where supported; no otherwise unknown ancient self-designation is invented.

The heritage record differentiates this settlement from the proposed principal-center model at Finca 6. The local account identifies limestone use alongside regional alternatives, making construction decisions part of the evidence.

Settlement architecture and local-material context Later precolonial Diquís contexts; survey and restoration dates separate Platforms, building stone, site plans and field investigations Palmar Norte, Puntarenas, Costa Rica (orientation only): approximate public-town or distant institutional orientation, not an excavation, burial, sacred-site, cave-entrance, private compound or vulnerable-deposit location; never a territorial, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, political, religious, sovereignty, fishing, water-rights or route boundary. The orientation may be far from the archaeological context. No access, collecting or travel permission is implied.
Resumo

Ferramentas, práticas alimentares, casas e paisagens construídas

Conexões de terras altas, fluviais, insulares, do Pacífico e do Caribe

Palmar Norte, Puntarenas, Costa Rica is a modern orientation, not an ancient capital or boundary. Relative settlement rank is an interpretation of local relationships, not one homogeneous national hierarchy.

Organização política e escala comunitária

Relative settlement rank is an interpretation of local relationships, not one homogeneous national hierarchy. Grijalba-2's subordinate-center model and building-material comparisons remain evidence-specific; house platforms do not identify all residents' language or ancestry.

Transformação imperial e colonial, património vivo e recepção moderna

Living communities and heritage institutions retain their own authority; this atlas cannot establish identity, ancestry, descent, recognition or membership. Archaeological names do not identify every ancient speaker; living Bribri, Cabécar, Boruca, Brörán, Ngäbe, Buglé, Guna and other peoples retain their own language and institutional authority. Events after 1600 CE and modern research, conservation and stewardship are dated separately from the main historical context.

Comparative scale The heritage record differentiates this settlement from the proposed principal-center model at Finca 6.
