Calima culture (200 BCE–400 CE) is a series of pre-Columbian cultures from the Valle del Cuaca in Colombia.[1]
The four societies that successively occupied the valley and make up Calima culture are:
- Ilama culture, characterized by red and black ceramics featuring religious imagery
- Yotoco culture, polychrome ceramics, introduction of hammered goldware
- Sonso culture, fewer ceramic styles, gold is mixed with copper and cast
- Malagana culture, fine, burnished ceramics, predominantly white or terra cotta in color. Ocarinas, large bottles, and alcarrazas, double spout and bridge vessels, become common.[1]
The Calima Darién Archaeological Museum features artifacts from the Calima culture.[1]
