Identifying Ancient Settlement Patterns through LiDAR in the Mosquitia Region of Honduras.

The Mosquitia ecosystem of Honduras occupies the fulcrum between the American continents and as such constitutes a critical region for understanding past patterns of socio-political development and interaction.
