Power-seeking individuals, including but not restricted to ruling elites, depended on network of allies to support their political objectives. Ongoing and partially successful competitions waged within networks led to the incorporation of exotic ideas and imported items into the daily practices of all Naco Valley occupants. The result was a fragile hierarchical structure forever vulnerable to the initiatives of agents operating on local and distant stages. --Little is known about how Late Postclassic populations in southeast Mesoamerica organized their political relations. Networks of Power fills gaps in the knowledge of this little-studied area, reconstructing the course of political history in the Naco Valley from the fourteenth through early sixteenth centuries. --Mesoamerican worlds.Social archaeologyHondurasNaco ValleyExcavations (Archaeology)HondurasNaco ValleyElite (Social sciences)HondurasNaco ValleyPower (Social sciences)HondurasNaco ValleyMayasHondurasNaco ValleyAntiquitiesMayasHondurasNaco ValleyPolitics and governmentMayasHondurasNaco ValleyKings and rulersNaco Valley (Honduras)AntiquitiesElectronic books.
