Summary Report: 

In addition to its Christian pilgrimage shrines, Colombia also has an important pre-Colombian ceremonial center called San Augustin. Considered by archaeologists to be one of the most significant ancient places in Latin America, San Augustin is actually a collection of ceremonial and burial sites scattered over an area of 250 square miles. Little is known of San Augustin. In particular, who were the people that lived here, where did they come from, when did they arrive, and what was the purpose of the extraordinary stone figures they so expertly carved? None of these questions can be answered with any degree of certainty. Scholars have hypothesized that an archaic people settled in the rolling hills bordering the Magdalena River as early as 3300 BC. These shadowy people may possibly have been the ancestors of the stone carvers who produced more than 500 monolithic statues, sarcophagi and petroglyphs sometime between the 6th and 14th centuries.
