-
Cihuatán A three-square-kilometre city north of San Salvador, founded near 900–950 CE and burned, with arrow points in the debris. One reading ends it by about 1100 and denies it was Pipil. Another carries a Mexican identity later. -
Joya de Cerén A Maya farming village sealed by the ash of Loma Caldera, with houses, a sweat bath, and manioc fields left in place, and no bodies found.
Considered, and not given a room
A room is for a place with a real open question and enough published evidence to weigh both sides. These were looked at and left as notes, so they are not invisible.
- Ilopango’s ash, about AD 500 in the listing, is the earlier blanket that people waited out before founding Joya de Cerén. Loma Caldera is the eruption that buried the village. The two volcanoes are not one date. UNESCO.
