Resumen
América Central ha sido una región de interés para arqueólogos principalmente interesados en temas concernientes con relaciones interregionales, tanto de corta (Corrales 2000; Fonseca 1997, 1998; Helms 1979; Hoopes 2005; Niemel 2005; Quilter y Hoopes 2003) como de larga distancia (Braswell et al. 2002; Fonseca y Richardson 1978; Lothrop 1966; Snarskis 1984a, 2003; Stone 1972, 1977, 1986; Willey 1971). Décadas de trabajo arqueológico enfocado en dicho tema han dejado indudablemente huella en la comprensión del desarrollo sociopolítico de las sociedades en la región. Hoy la forma más común de entender el proceso es en donde el cambio social fue amplia y fuertemente afectado por relaciones interregionales (Carmack y Salgado 2006; Corrales 2000; Hoopes 2005; Joyce 1996; Schortman y Urban 1992; Snarskis 2003). De acuerdo con esta comprensión del cambio, la interacción interregional ha hecho que las influencias políticas, económicas e ideológicas se diseminaran en las diferentes regiones involucradas, de tal forma que sus trayectorias de cambio social se homogeneizaran entre sí y se produjeran formas sociopolíticas similares a lo largo de extensos territorios.
Central America has been a region of interest for archaeologists mainly concerned with issues related to interregional relationships at both close (Corrales 2000; Fonseca 1997, 1998; Helms 1979; Hoopes 2005; Niemel 2005; Quilter and Hoopes 2003) and long range (Braswell et al. 2002; Fonseca and Richardson 1978; Lothrop 1966; Snarskis 1984a, 2003; Stone 1972, 1977, 1986; Willey 1971). Decades of archaeological work focused on this topic have undoubtedly left their mark on our understanding of the sociopolitical development of the societies in the region. Nowadays the common view of the process is that social change was strongly and pervasively affected by interregional relationships (Carmack and Salgado 2006; Corrales 2000; Hoopes 2005; Joyce 1996; Schortman and Urban 1992; Snarskis 2003). According to this view, inter-regional political, ideological and economic interactions and influences have spread throughout a number of different regions, thus homogenizing the trajectories of social change and producing similar sociopolitical forms across large territories.
