Research in Nicaragua Since 2009, my colleagues and I have been working in Nicargua, primarily in the Department of Chinandega, which lies in the northwest corner of the country. Here is a link to the infal draft of the informe from the 2013 season. It contains additional information. Like the earlier version, it is a Microsoft Word document. Here is a link to our most recent informe, which is a preliminary report on the fieldwork we carried out in the summer of 2013. Unfortunately, it is a MicroSoft Word document. The Adobe Acrobat conversion ruined some of the maps, which of course we cannot have.
