Costa RicaThe Stone Spheres of Costa Rica are an assortment of over 300 petrospheres found primarily on the Diquís Delta and Isla del Caño [1] [2]. Locally known as bolas de piedra (stone balls), they are attributed to the extinct Diquís culture and represent the best-known stone sculptures of the Isthmo-Colombian area [1]. Their precise purpose remains debated, with theories suggesting they served as status symbols, territorial markers, or astronomical indicators [1] [2].
