Resumen
Con base en las dataciones radiocarbónicas recientes de procesos constructivos en el Monumento Nacional Guayabo, se contrastan dos conjuntos de argumentos hipotéticos formulados con las investigaciones precedentes realizadas durante el siglo XX. Se contextualiza la Vertiente Caribe de Costa Rica con los sitios arqueológicos para los que se cuenta con datos radiométricos y se exponen los resultados de las excavaciones recientes en Guayabo, haciendo la calibración de las edades radiocarbónicas convencionales, para determinar si las construcciones precolombinas se agrupan o no a través del tiempo. Con esto se busca contribuir con datos empíricos acerca de las condiciones en que se manifestó el fenómeno de jerarquización social precolombina en esta región del sur de América Central.
Two sets of hypothetical arguments formulated with the previous research carried out during the 20th Century are contrasted based on recent radiocarbon data of constructive processes in Guayabo National Monument. Caribbean Watershed of Costa Rica is contextualized with the archaeological sites for wich radiometric data are available and the results of recent excavations in Guayabo are exposed doing the calibration of conventional radiocarbon ages to determine if the pre-Columbian constructions are grouped or not through time. This is intended to contribute with empirical data about the conditions in which the phenomenon of pre-Columbian social hierarchy was manifested in this region of southern Central America.
