Corantijn Basin

Corantijn Basin is one of a large number of archaeological sites located in the interior of Suriname in South American. The Suriname archaeological sites provide information on prehistoric human populations (Amerindians or Indians) that lived in Suriname before 1492. At the Corantijn Basin site have been found most of the petroglyphs in the area. Petroglyphs provide an important insight into the ceremonial, mythical and religious world of these lost populations of the past.

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