The museum's collection of art of the Americas consists of more than 3,000 pieces from North, Central, and South America, from ancient to contemporary art, spanning 4,000 years. For the cultures of ancient Latin America, the museum's holdings cover three major cultural centers, Mesoamerica, Lower Central America, and the Andes and include a range of media such as textiles (including�khipus, used for Inka record-keeping), ceramics, wooden sculptures, and metalwork. The collections are especially strong in ancient Costa Rica, featuring over 600 works from all periods, including greenstone ceremonial axes and stone�metates�(grinding stones). The Carlos Museum also is the current steward of ancient items found in Georgia, including pieces excavated from the Etowah Indian Mounds, an important cultural center that flourished during the Mississippian period and is affiliated with the Mvskoke (Creek) people.
