EL SALVADOR-UNESCO-BOKOVA-JOYA DE CEREN

TO GO WITH A AFP STORY BY CARLOS MARIO MARQUEZ The Joya de Ceren archaeological site in the town of San Juan Opico, 40 km west of San Salvador, on May 7, 2013. Joya de Ceren was a pre-Hispanic farming community that, like Pompeii and Herculaneum in Italy, was buried under an eruption of the Laguna Caldera volcano c. AD 600. Because of the exceptional condition of the remains, they provide an insight into the daily lives of the Central American populations who worked the land at that time and is a world heritage site since 1993.
