Costa Rican archaeologist Maritza Gutierrez works on tombs made with stones at an indigenous cemetery found in the town of Tres Rios, outskirts of San Jose. An 800-year-old, pre-Columbian burial ground with baskets full of human remains was unearthed at a building site outside San Jose, National Museum archaeologists said Tuesday.

I’m blaming narco traffickers for this one.

"contained in baskets made of plant fiber, an unusual material for native groups predating the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus."

What else does one make baskets from?

contained in baskets made of plant fiber, an unusual material for native groups predating the discovery of the New World by Christopher Columbus.

Is this really true? Or did the fiber baskets all rot over the centuries?

Looks like a Zen garden ~ just more Japanese.

Something to think about ~ you have Japanese taking off on small boats and ending up in Peru, etc. over thousands of years.

How did they know where to go?

I have to assume they mean it's a little unusual for the materials to have survived intact, but even that's not especially accurate (although it might be in a rain forest environment like Costa Rica). Either that or they're nuts/stupid.
