Sumario:[EN] The original airn of the rcsearch project cmTied out on the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua was to excavate one ofthe coastal sites (Karoline, KH-4, 340 calBC-350 cal. AD) to determine the levels of evolution and development of the prehistoric societies that populated this Caribbean region. Written ethno-historical sources for the so-called Mosquito Coast from the 17th-19th centurics, suggested that this was a society cornposed of small groups, basically devoted to hunting/fishing and gathering, probably with incipient subsistence agriculture. However, the recent discovery of the site of El Cascal de Flor de Pino (KH-31, 750 calBC-340 calAD) seems to indicate the possibility of a society with a rather more complex level of social organisation.
