Joya de Céren, El Salvador
The Maya village of Joya de Cerén was destroyed in an earthquake around AD600. The ruins covered in 20 feet (6m) volcanic ash were discovered in 1976, and included houses, storage areas, artefacts, utensils and some manioc fields. No bodies have been found and it is thought everyone escaped.
