BREACHING SPIRITUAL BORDERS: How Indigenous Religious Ontologies Colonized Christianity (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Shannon Iverson.

In 1524, only three years after the military conquest of central Mexico was complete, twelve Franciscan friars arrived in New Spain to begin an ambitious religious conversion program. The friars arrived in a territory where landscapes, buildings, and everyday objects (such as foodstuffs and ceramic objects) were already “mythologized”—deeply imbued with supernatural connotations. For the Spanish priests, Indigenous worlds were always potential minefields of spiritual pollution. Therefore, though...

Cambiando Roles, del centro administrativo al centro ceremonial. El Caso de Cerro Azul, Cañete (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Rodrigo Javier Areche Espinola.

Los estudios incas en los Andes Centrales dan cuenta sobre los mecanismos de instituciones religiosas heredadas y desarrolladas por un estado expansivo. La importancia y éxito de estas instituciones radica en justificar y legitimar la dominación de diferentes grupos a través de la captación y manipulación de creencias locales, materializado en la reocupación de sitios religiosos locales. Sin embargo, los Incas, también, transformaron lugares secundarios en centros de poder religiosos imponiendo...

A Ceramic Investigation into the Relationship between Emergent Complexity and Religion on the South Coast of Peru (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Alicia Gorman. Kevin Vaughn. Michiel Zegarra Zegarra.

This paper investigates negotiations of power on the south coast of Peru through ceramic attribute analysis. The ceramic sample comes from the site of Cerro Tortolita, which contains both ceremonial and habitation zones. This site’s emergence in the upper Ica Valley during the 3rd century AD coincided with a broader increase in local settlement hierarchy. The timing of Cerro Tortolita’s rise and its religious nature provide a unique opportunity to isolate and investigate the relationship between...

Crosses, Burned Churches, and Kidnapped Priests: Ambivalent Maya Catholics in 19th-century British Honduras (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christine Kray. Minette Church. Jason Yaeger.

This is an abstract from the "After Cortés: Archaeological Legacies of the European Invasion in Mesoamerica" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Spanish colonization of New Spain rested upon a pragmatic, yet conflicted, alliance between Cross and Crown. Following independence, many republican and neocolonial governments also relied on the soft power of the Church.

During the Late Archaic Period, dramatic cultural transformations took place along the north central coast of Peru in a region known as the Norte Chico.
