Abstract
Abstract A critical review of the last 20 years of archaeological research on chiefdoms in Colombia reveals the surge of increasingly sophisticated perspectives in the study of precolumbian social complexity and social inequality. Though the diversity among precolumbian chiefdoms has been acknowledged for a while, recent research documents the depth and multifaceted nature of such diversity. The main contributions and most promising future directions are those that offer a nuanced understanding of social inequality, challenging unilineal evolutionary preconceptions via rigorous field-based research that is beginning to expose the intricacy and seemingly contradictory manifestations of social differentiation within and among precolumbian societies.
