Panama, officially the Republic of Panama (Spanish: República de Panamá), is
the Southernmost country of Central America. Situated on an isthmus, some
categorize it as a transcontinental nation connecting the north and south part
of America. It is bordered by
Costa Rica to
the north-west,
Colombia to the south-east, the Caribbean Sea to the north and the Pacific
Ocean to the south. It is an international business center and is also a transit
country. Although Panama is the third largest economy in Central America, after
Guatemala and
Costa Rica, it
is the largest consumer in Central America.
Panama currently enjoys a rich Pre-Columbian heritage of native populations
whose presence stretched back over 11,000 years. The earliest traces of these
indigenous peoples include fluted projectile points. This changed into
significant populations that are best known through the spectacular burials of
the Conte site (dating to c. AD 500–900) and the polychrome pottery of the Coclé
style. The monumental monolithic sculptures at the Barriles (Chiriqui) site were
another important clue of the ancient isthmian cultures. Prior to the arrival of
Europeans, Panama was widely settled by Chibchan, Chocoan, and Cueva peoples,
among whom the largest group were the Cueva. There is no accurate knowledge of
size of the indigenous population of the isthmus at the time of the European
conquest. Estimates range as high as two million people, but more recent studies
place that number closer to 200,000.
