摘要在洪都拉斯东北部的塞林农场遗址进行的研究考察了这个对史前历史知之甚少的地区不断变化的文化景观。低影响的野外方法和放射性碳测年揭示了这种文化景观是如何随着其居民从公元后的优先事项的转变而发生变化的。300-1000。我们发现了从公元后开始快速积累沉积物的证据。600年，当时网站的规模在短短几十年内几乎翻了一番，然后在几个世纪内再次缩水。尽管它陷入了公元后开始的一些更广泛的社会和政治变革中。600在整个洪都拉斯北部和中美洲南部，这一遗址的寿命表明它所处的文化和生态系统是稳定的，直到最后几个世纪的占领。保存完好的长期矿藏使塞林农场成为探索中美洲鲜为人知的小规模社会中错综复杂的环境和社会变化过程的理想地点。
ABSTRACT Research at the Selin Farm site in northeastern Honduras examined changing cultural landscapes in a region whose prehistory is poorly understood. Low-impact field methods and radiocarbon dates reveal how this cultural landscape changed in response to shifting priorities among its inhabitants from a.d. 300–1000. We found evidence for rapid accumulation of deposits beginning around a.d. 600, when the site nearly doubled in size over the span of just decades, before retracting again within a few centuries. Although it was caught up in some of the broader social and political changes that began around a.d. 600 throughout northern Honduras and southern Mesoamerica, the longevity of this site suggests stability of the cultural and ecological systems in which it was embedded until the final centuries of occupation. Well-preserved, long-term deposits make Selin Farm an ideal location in which to explore entangled processes of environmental and social change in the little-known small-scale societies of Central America.
