DOCUMENT Citation Only Beatriz Marín-Aguilera.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Colonial Forts in Comparative, Global, and Contemporary Perspective", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

Palynological Study of Sediment Samples from La Planta, Puerto Rico (1988)

DOCUMENT Full-Text James Schoenwetter.

Pilot study suggests Puerto Rican archaeological-context sediment samples contain pollen but further research will be needed to develop a cost-effective extraction technique, and many samples may not have adequate pollen concentrations to justify paleoenvironmental interpretation.

PHYTOLITH AND STARCH ANALYSIS OF TWO GRINDING STONE RESIDUE WASHES FROM NORTHERN CHILE (2011)

DOCUMENT Full-Text Chad Yost.

Two grinding stones from northern Chile were washed for phytolith and starch remains. The washes were conducted in Chile and the resulting residue was dried and sent to PaleoResearch Institute for analysis. The goal of the analysis was to identify plant opal phytoliths and starch grains that may be derived from plant material processed with these tools.

Rock Salt Mining in San Pedro de Atacama, Northern Chile, during the 20th Century: Protoindustrialization or Industrialization in the Periphery? (2015)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Flora Vilches.

Rock salt exploitation in the oases of San Pedro de Atacama is one among many expressions of capitalist expansion in Latin America. Except for mining concessions, historical documentation of these practices is virtually nonexistent, although material remains and former actors in the mining process still survive. In this paper, we present archaeological evidence of rock salt mining sites of different scale and kind of exploitation that coexist throughout the 20th century. Such differences show...

Smoky places: archaeology of smoking practices on public parks of a capital city (Santiago, Chile, South America) (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Amalia Nuevo Delaunay. Javiera Letelier Cosmelli. Rodolfo Quiroz Rojas.

Prostitution and prostitutes, despite their alleged ubiquity in time-space and exponential growth with industrialization, have rarely been the focus of historical inquiry, let alone of archaeology, with exceptional exceptions. With New Orleans’ red-light district Storyville as source of inspiration, this study seeks to archaeologically document prostitution in saltpeter boomtowns (salitreras) and ports of Northern Chile (1880-1930), aiming to identify and characterize the spaces of prostitution...
