Abstract
En el cantón de Osa, al Sur de Costa Rica, cuatro sitios arqueológicos con esferas de piedra fueron inscritos en el 2014 en la Lista del Patrimonio Mundial en la 38ª Sesión de la UNESCO celebrada en Doha, Catar. El Museo Nacional de Costa Rica ha venido trabajando en la zona desde hace más de veinte años desarrollando investigación arqueológica de manera sistemática en los sitios, especialmente en Finca 6; y desde hace diez años coordina la realización de un Festival Cultural dedicado a las esferas precolombinas. El Festival cuenta con el apoyo constante de grupos comunales y asociaciones de vecinos, y con el aporte de una serie de instituciones públicas y privadas; que se unieron para trabajar en pro de la declaratoria de los “Asentamientos cacicales con esferas de piedra del Diquís” como Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Después de diez años de trabajo arduo, la UNESCO inscribió cuatro sitios arqueológicos de Costa Rica como parte de la Lista de sitios considerados Patrimonio Mundial. En este proceso de candidatura, el Festival de las Esferas desarrolló un papel clave como factor de unión de la comunidad con su Patrimonio adyacente.
In Osa, south of Costa Rica, four archaeological sites with stone spheres were inscribed in 2014 in the World Heritage List at the 38th session of UNESCO held in Doha, Qatar. The National Museum of Costa Rica has been working in the area for over twenty years developing systematic archaeological research at these sites, especially in Finca 6; and for ten years coordinates the implementation of a Cultural Festival dedicated to pre-Columbian spheres. The Festival has the continued support of community groups and associations, and with input from a number of public and private institutions; they came together to work for the inscription of the “Chiefdom Settlements Diquís stone spheres” as a World Heritage Site. After ten years of hard work, UNESCO inscribed archaeological sites in Costa Rica as part of the List of World Heritage sites. In this process of candidacy, the Festival of the Spheres played a key role as a unifying factor of the community with its adjacent heritage.
