Joya de Cerén (Jewel of Cerén in the Spanish language) is an archaeological site in El Salvador featuring a pre-Columbian Maya farming village preserved remarkably intact under layers of volcanic ash. It is often referred to as the "Pompeii of the Americas" in comparison to the famous Ancient Roman ruins. A small farming community inhabited as early as 900 BC, Cerén was on the southeast edge of the Maya cultural area. Cerén was evacuated in AD 250 due to the eruption of the Ilopango volcano but was repopulated no earlier than the year 400 and was, at the time of its final evacuation, a tributary to nearby San Andrés. Around the year 590,[1][2] Loma Caldera, another nearby volcano, erupted and buried the village under 14 layers of ash. The villagers were apparently able to flee in time – no bodies have been found – although they left behind utensils, ceramics, furniture, and even half-eaten food in their haste to escape. The site was discovered in 1976 by Payson Sheets, a professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since then the excavation process has continued. About 70 buildings have been uncovered. Even more important than the buildings, however, are the paleoethnobotanical remains. The low temperature of the wet ash from Loma Caldera, as well as its rapid fall, ensured the preservation of much of the plant material. Of great importance is the discovery of manioc fields, the first time manioc cultivation had been found at a New World ...

El Salvador (The Saviour' in Spanish) might be the smallest country in Central America, but it is well worth exploring. Newcomers are frequently bowled over by this stunning volcanic landscape, and quickly warm to the openness of its people. This tiny tropical land is bursting with natural attractions, including the Cerro Verde National Park, the volcanic lakes of Ilopango and Coatepeque, and impressive beaches; the breakers rolling in from the Pacific Ocean make the coast of Sonsonate and La Unión provinces a major draw for surfers, while the resorts of the Costa del Sol are a 90-minute drive from the capital. El Salvador also offers interesting archaeological sites from Maya civilisation, and the Ruta de Las Flores takes visitors to some of the prettiest villages and market towns. ********** This description is from WORLDTRAVELGUIDE.

An archaeology documentary directed and produced by Fabricio Valdivieso. The pre-Classic in Mesoamerica paves the way to great civilizations such as the Mayas, to which scholars nowadays have given special attention. This documentary compiles a remarkable discussion on this remote period, according to new evidence recovered from recent research in two important sites: Atalaya, in the Pacific coast, and Ataco in the Apaneca range in El Salvador. Mountains and coastal regions offer two different scenarios in which ancient dwellers learned how to live, developing very particular societies. Nature provides the conditions for this way of living. El Salvador, located in the centre of the Mesoamerican region, offers an opportunity to understand an ancient way of living in one of the most densely populated areas of America. This documentary, made as an experimental project, includes unique interviews and non-edited footage of recent excavation in the region, and the newest academic data that can be used as an outstanding scientific resource.

The birth of Underwater Archaeology, 1960-1962, shows the pioneers of nautical archaeology as they develop methods of excavating ancient shipwrecks on the seabed. Among them are George Bass, Claude Duthuit, Frederick van Doorninck, Susan Womer Katzev, Ann Bass, and David Owen, who later founded the Institute of Nautical Archaeology (INA) which now excavates around the world. Learn more about INA's research in George Bass's book Beneath the Seven Seas and at www.inadiscover.com.

A visit to the border town of Copán, Honduras at the turn of the nineteenth century. Many of these photos were taken by archaeologists from the Peabody Museum, Harvard University, who excavated the Mayan site of Copán from the 1890s through the late 1940s. Others were taken by Dr. Atilio Peccorini, a diplomat from El Salvador, who visited the area in 1917 and occasionally lectured on the subject of ancient American civilizations. For more on the early Peabody Museum and Carnegie Institution of Washington excavations at Copán, please see the following: www.peabody.harvard.edu Once difficult to come by, Peccorini's writings about Copán can be found here: docs.google.com Music: "Storm's Coming" composed by Jeff Beal from Carnivale: Soundtrack from the original HBO series.

The ruins of Tazumal are considered the most important and best preserved in El Salvador. The artifacts found at Tazumal provide evidence of ancient and active trade between Tazumal and places as far away as Panama and Mexico. The excavated ruins are part of an area covering 10 km² (4 sq mi), much of it buried under the surrounding town. Archaeologists estimate that the first settlements in the area of Chalchuapa date to around 1200 BC.
