Corantijn Basin

The Corantijn, Corantijn or Courantyne River is the Border River between Suriname and Guyana. The Corantijn Basin is one of a number of archaeological sites located in the hinterland of Suriname, South America.[1] [2] The Suriname archaeological sites provide information on Indigenous Peoples who lived in Suriname before 1492. Most of the petroglyphs are in the Corantijn Basin site. Petroglyphs provide an important insight into the ceremonial, mythical and religious world of these precontact indigenous peoples.[3] [4]

The site is also well known as the habitat of Pseudoplatystoma, a genus of several South American catfish.[5]

gollark: I can anecdotally confirm that my Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 or whatever the stupidly long brand name is works very well under Linux. Except for some random dropouts which were fixed when I switched NetworkManager to using `iwd` instead of `wpa_supplicant`.
gollark: Without computers lots of stuff will break. If you consider microcontrollers to be computers that is. Otherwise somewhat less stuff.
gollark: The designs for computers and computer bits are all stored on computers.
