Costa Rica and Archaeology - ASSF lecture
Time: 7:00 pm til 8:00 pm
Location: Deering Estate - Culter Bay FL
Description: When the word ecotourism was coined in 1983, the inventor must have had Costa Rica in mind. The country had established its National Park in 1970. However, when birdwatchers found that the country had 850 species of birds, tourists began to flock into the country and the government began a program to preserve its tremendous biodiversity and to reap the economic benefits of tourism. Just lately it has decided to finance archaeological investigations. This presentation will also include a visit to the Pre Columbian site of El Guayabo de Turrialba.
Dr. Anne Stewart was born in Indiana. Near her home were Adena Indian mounds which helped her develop a lifelong interest in Precolumbian cultures. She received her BA from Baldwin Wallace University, MS from Florida State and Doctorate from Nova Southeastern.
