Revealing slow monumentality: luminescence and soil narratives from Aguas Buenas, central Nicaragua
- Abstract:
- New results from the 2025 excavations at Aguas Buenas (fourth–ninth centuries CE), central Nicaragua, combine soil-profile descriptions and luminescence profiling to reconstruct mound-building sequences and their temporal rhythms. Here, the authors explain how this helps to shed light on communal forms of monumentality in southern Central America. Resumen Los nuevos resultados de las excavaciones de 2025 en Aguas Buenas (siglos IV–IX d. C.), en el centro de Nicaragua, combinan descripciones de perfiles de suelo y perfiles de luminiscencia para reconstruir las secuencias de construcción de montículos y sus ritmos temporales. Los autores explican cómo este enfoque contribuye a esclarecer las formas comunitarias de monumentalidad en el sur de Centroamérica.
