Nica News: Recent Archaeological Research in Nicaragua
Part of: Society for American Archaeology 82nd Annual Meeting, Vancouver, BC (2017)
In 1881, John Bransford observed that "nowhere in the Americas was there greater potential for archaeological research than in Nicaragua." Over 100 years later, that potential is being realized through numerous national and international research projects. Perhaps due to the relative stability of the country, and especially because of the openness to collaborative research, Nicaragua has become a popular destination for archaeologists. This symposium brings together Nicaraguan and international scholars to present their recent research. Potential topics include excavation reports, analyses, and new interpretations.
