The Pre-Columbian Artifacts Discovered in Isla Zapatera Shine Light on Ancient Ceremonial Practices of the Chorotega People. A recent excavation in the Zapatera archipelago, off the coast of Nicaragua, has unearthed an impressive collection of ancient artifacts, including statues, petroglyphs and pottery. The sheer volume of these discoveries suggests that this region was once a major ceremonial center for the pre-Columbian Chorotega people. One particularly striking artifact is a statue depicting a seated human figure with a distinctively rat-like head.
