El Salvador Culture History and Archaeology

Shortly after dinner started, one early evening in August about 595 AD, the Loma Caldera volcano of north central El Salvador erupted, burying the town of Cerén and preserving its spectacular normalcy for archaeological study.

Chalchuapa is the name of a Maya period site in El Salvador, occupied from about 1200 BC to the Spanish conquest.

San Francisco State University's Karen Olsen Bruhns has spent the last several years investigating Cihuatan, the "Place of the Woman", in El Salvador.

At Tulane, conducts, supports, and publishes research in the anthropology, and especially the archaeology of Mexico and Central America.

The site of Quelepa is located in eastern El Salvador, about eight kilometers east-northeast of San Miguel.
