Filandia Settlement Dataset
This dataset complements the book Arqueología regional en el Cauca Medio: La ocupación humana prehispánica en Filandia by Luis Gonzalo Jaramillo E., Elizabeth Ramos Roca, and Julián Andrés Escobar Tovar (available from the University of Pittsburgh Center for Comparative Archaeology). It provides counts of ceramic and lithic artifacts, as well as maps, drawings, and photographs derived from survey and excavations carried out within the area of Filandia in the Middle Valley of the Cauca River of Colombia (1997-1998) and discussed in full in the printed volume.
