This is an abstract from the "Archaeologies of Contact and Colonialism" session, at the 2019 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Until recently, the interactions between Native peoples and European settlers in Maryland during the seventeenth century have been treated as momentary incidences of contact of individuals occupying the same colonial landscape. However, in reality, the lives of the Native peoples of Maryland and the European settlers were if not directly,...

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Comparative Perspectives on European Colonization in the Americas: Papers in Honor of Réginald Auger" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. As Professor Auger advocated during his career at Université Laval and transmitted to his students over the years, interdisciplinary approaches are fundamental to the development of archeology. Our science already uses and combines different techniques and methods in order to...

The eastern valleys of the Cordillera Oriental, in north Salta, Argentina, were a sector of the eastern frontier of Tawantinsuyu. We proposed that the Inca created a state enclave with mining-metallurgical goals in that sector. To accomplish this, populations (mitmaqkuna) were moved from other parts of the empire, which required the implementation of a significant agrarian system to support them. These valleys may have been producing goods of great value that might have comprised a single...

This is an abstract from the "25 Years in the Casas Grandes Region: Celebrating Mexico–U.S. Collaboration in the Gran Chichimeca" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Beginning with the first investigations in Paquimé, one of the most important issues that archaeologists have identified was the site’s apparently intimate relationship with Mesoamerica. This idea is supported by relatively abundant copper objects, as well as ceramic remains from southern...

Interactions, entry, timing - issues of the "First Americans" have been strongly debated. This paper sets these issues within the parameters of archaeology and recorded histories/reinactments by people that address some of these debates. Debated lately is outrepassé, reverse hinge, or overshot. This technique for reduction stone reduction is used in Clovis technology and it is particularly common in Nohmul, in a workshop under a Late Classic Meso American ballcourt, tlacho, a religious context....

This paper will address economic and political interactions of two Cypriot polities during the Iron Age prior to political transitions in about 450 BCE. Idalion is a polity in the interior, near the copper-bearing Troodos Mountains and Kition is a port town on the southern coast. These polities are separate by 20km of rolling hills and plains. By 450 BCE, Kition had obtained political control of Idalion, but there has been little research about these two urban areas interactions prior to this...

Recent strontium analyses have revealed that many women buried in the Feathered Serpent Pyramid in Teotihuacan changed their environment at least two times during their lifetime. This suggests that their role, especially in cultural interactions, was particularly important, an hypothesis already presented by Gillespie and Joyce (1997) for maya societies. An iconographic study of mural painting, figurines and sculptures from Cacaxtla-Xochitecatl and Xochicalco, two epiclassic cities well known...
