Joya de Ceren Mayan City El Salvador
In this episode of DBH Unplugged, David tours the ancient Mayan village of Joya de Ceren. It is here that you can see the only Mayan ruins in all of Mesoamerica that display where/how 'regular' people used to live. Nicknamed the Pompeii of the Americas, the village was both destroyed and preserved by a volcanic eruption. Take a tour of this amazing and unique archaeological site as David films the storage facilities, houses, ritualistic locations and community kitchens. Discovered in 1976, this ancient village gives insight into both the culture and history of the Mayan people, and is an absolute must visit when traveling through the country. Learn all about this UNESCO World Heritage Site with the DBH Guide: El Salvador, also available for your Kindle.

Joya De Cerén
Joya de Cerén (Jewel of Cerén in the Spanish language) is a World Heritage Archaeological Site in La Libertad Department, El Salvador—a pre-Columbian farming village preserved remarkably intact under layers of volcanic ash. This short video from the exhibition Cerámica de los Ancestros: Central America’s Past Revealed describes the importance of the site to research. On view at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York from April 18, 2015, to January 2017, Cerámica de los Ancestros is a collaboration of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian and the Smithsonian Latino Center.

Joya de Cerén, El Salvador May 2009 2of2
Joya de Cerén (Jewel of Cerén in the Spanish language) is an archaeological site in El Salvador featuring a pre-Columbian Maya farming village preserved remarkably intact under layers of volcanic ash. It is often referred to as the Pompeii of the Americas in comparison to the famous Ancient Roman ruins.
A small farming community inhabited as early as 900 BC, Cerén was on the southeast edge of the Maya cultural area. Cerén was evacuated in AD 250 due to the eruption of the Ilopango volcano but was repopulated no earlier than the year 400 and was, at the time of its final evacuation, a tributary to nearby San Andrés.
Around the year 590,[1][2] Loma Caldera, another nearby volcano, erupted and buried the village under 14 layers of ash. The villagers were apparently able to flee in time no bodies have been found although they left behind utensils, ceramics, furniture, and even half-eaten food in their haste to escape. The site was discovered in 1976 by Payson Sheets, a professor of anthropology at the University of Colorado at Boulder. Since then the excavation process has continued. About 70 buildings have been uncovered.
Even more important than the buildings, however, are the paleoethnobotanical remains. The low temperature of the wet ash from Loma Caldera, as well as its rapid fall, ensured the preservation of much of the plant material. Of great importance is the discovery of manioc fields, the first time manioc cultivation had been found at a New World archaeological site.[3] Although the manioc had long since decomposed, researchers created plaster casts by filling the resulting hollows in the ash. The farmers had planted the manioc just hours before the eruption.[4]
Cerén was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993.

Sitio Arqueologico Joya de Ceren, Patrimonio de la Humanidad UNESCO, El Salvador
Info: Español / English.
-Sitio Arqueologico Joya de Ceren declarado Patrimonio de la Humanidad por la UNESCO es conocido como La Pompeya de America debido a que es una aldea indigena que fue sepultada por las cenizas de la erupcion de la Loma Caldera. En este lugar se encuentra un Museo que muestra como era la vida en ese lugar antes de la erupcion. Al igual que las ciudades romanas de Pompeya y Herculano, la comunidad agrícola prehispánica de Joya de Cerén fue repentinamente sepultada por una erupción del volcán Laguna Caldera hacia el año 600. Gracias a su perfecto estado de conservación, los vestigios de este sitio aportan un testimonio excepcional sobre la vida cotidiana de los agricultores mesoamericanos de esa época.
Este lugar se encuentra en el departamento de La Libertad aproximadamente a 45 mins de la capital.
