  General Description   The Nahuange or Neguanje phase of Colombian prehistory lasted from about 250 to 1050 CE, according to Santiago Giraldo and Juana Saenz’s recent estimates based on radiocarbon-dated goldwork and complete dated contexts. [1] Nahuange artefacts and sites have mostly been found along Colombia’s Atlantic coast. [2]
Population and political organization
Most likely, Nahuange communities were organized into numerous small polities. Unfortunately, there is not enough data to determine the exact relationship between these polities (e.g. if some dominated over others), though it is worth noting that individual polities were probably poorly integrated systems, with little centralization. [3] Similarly, little is known about Nahuange social hierarchies, [4] or, for that matter, about their population numbers. [5] [1]
