See images. Fantastic book. About the book >.>.> One must view the striking and distinctive creative efforts of Costa Rica's early ceramic artists with admiration as one projects their achievements against the backdrop of a culture with no alpha- bet, with limited technology and no extant monu- mental architecture. Despite the designation of Costa Rica as the "rich coast" by Spanish explorers who were impressed by the gold adornments of its people, the area would appear to have been poor in terms of the materials, technology and oppor- tunities essential for the development of impor- tant stone architecture or a wide range of aesthetic creations in stone and metal. "But the Indians of Pre-Columbian Costa Rica.enjoved the advantages even as they suf- fered the vicissitudes of living at the juncture between cultures and the transit point for com- merce. The Costa Rican isthmus, linking North and South America, was exposed to civilizations more sophisticated than its own, utilizing more advanced technologies manifes.
