This Science in Developing Countries Program award will support Silvia Salgado Gonzalez to carry out dissertation research on the nature and evolution of sociopolitical complexity among precolumbian groups of Pacific Nicaragua. Ethnohistorical sources suggest that the sociopolitical organization of the area corresponded to complex chiefdoms, but the archaeological data to explain the evolution and operation of these politics is lacking. The project will provide new data on one of the most poorly- known areas in Central America and, more importantly, it will contribute to the ongoing debate on the nature of the evolution of complexity in Southeastern Mesoamerica and Lower Central America. This is a cooperative project between SUNY-Albany, and the National Museum and the Patrimonio Historico of Nicaragua. It will provide training in field and laboratory archaeological methods and techniques to Nicaraguan students, enlarge the archaeological program of the Nicaraguan institutions involved, and expand the research interests of the Department of Anthropology and the Institute of Mesoamerican Studies at SUNY. ***//

发展中国家科学计划奖将支持西尔维娅·萨尔加多·冈萨雷斯开展关于太平洋尼加拉瓜哥伦布时期前群体社会政治复杂性的性质和演变的论文研究。 民族历史资料表明，该地区的社会政治组织与复杂的酋长管辖地相对应，但缺乏解释这些政治演变和运作的考古数据。 该项目将提供有关中美洲最鲜为人知的地区之一的新数据，更重要的是，它将有助于推动关于中美洲东南部和中美洲下游复杂性演变本质的持续辩论。 这是纽约州立大学奥尔巴尼分校与尼加拉瓜国家博物馆和Patrimonio Historico 之间的合作项目。 它将为尼加拉瓜学生提供实地和实验室考古方法和技术的培训，扩大尼加拉瓜相关机构的考古项目，并扩大纽约州立大学人类学系和中美洲研究所的研究兴趣。 ***//
