Embedded Religiousness and the Kotosh Religious Tradition in the Peruvian Highlands: La Seductora (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Christian Mesia-Montenegro. Angel Sanchez-Borjas.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Excavations at La Seductora identified a circular structure with a central hearth and an underground ventilation shaft. We argue that the structure belongs to the Kotosh Religious Tradition. The KRT tradition dominated the Andean landscape, permeating not only religious interactions but also political and economic ones during the Late Archaic and Formative...

Entangled complexity: Spiro, religion, and food (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dawn Rutecki.

Understanding past peoples – those living in different places, spaces and times – requires archaeologists to reorient how we see and experience the world. We have the ability to move beyond recording the physical traces of past lives to get to the central goal of our discipline – understanding how people lived, participated in and tied themselves to communities, and connected to larger systems. Instead of forming stagnant images of the past, we need to remember the dynamism of choices made and...

Environment, Religion, and Social Change: the Doane Site Archaelogical Project, Cape Cod, MA (2020)

This paper provides a preliminary report on the 2019 excavations at the Doane Site, Eastham, Massachusetts, on Lower Cape Cod. This project looks at a well-known religious community in a less-clearly-understood time: the century and a half during which the descendants of those called “the Pilgrims”...

Erasing Religious Boundaries in a Frontier South Carolina Parish (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kimberly Pyszka.

Although founded as a religiously tolerant colony, early colonial South Carolina was deeply divided between Anglicans who fought to establish the Church of England and dissenters who opposed it. In 1706, the Church of England did become the official established religion of the colony, yet tensions continued. However, these religious differences were less important in the colony’s southern frontier parishes where white settlers had other concerns, namely from neighboring Native American...

The Faith Adaptations in Colonial Mauritius (2020)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Saša Čaval.

This is an abstract from the session entitled "Historical Archaeology in the Indian Ocean" , at the 2020 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Due to its colonial legacy, Mauritius could serve as a laboratory for the present-day globalization in almost every aspect of human activity. Most noticeable and distinguishable is the religious element. Corresponding to their homeland, the colonizers and colonists of Mauritius were followers of Christianity, African traditional...

Food and Religious Practices at Spiro: Implications for Understanding Social Complexity (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Dawn Rutecki.

Recent reanalyzes of the Mississippian Ideological Interaction Sphere have invoked reinvigorated, multi-dimensional research that examines symbolism, social organization, and subsistence practices. Through a reanalysis of faunal remains from Spiro Mounds, OK, this paper interrogates the presence of faunal remains and materials to better contextualize their use through a lens of concurrent religious practices at the site from CE 1000-1400. By contextualizing the remains within broader discussions...

GIS Models of an Iron Age Central Eurasian Macro-scale Religious Landscape (2016)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Kathryn MacFarland.

Scythian, Saka, and Xiongnu peoples lived in northern central Eurasia throughout the Iron Age (1,000-100 BCE). Current research in this region has revealed a variety of economic strategies employed by people who lived in this time period: agriculture, pastoral nomadism, and metallurgy. This project seeks to fill gaps in current understanding of landscape utilization and consistent iconographic usage by attempting to identify and study processes driving religious complexity utilizing a GIS-based...

God's Empire: Ritual, Repression, and Resistance on the Rio Grande, 1300-1848 (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Patrick Depret-Guillaume.

This interdisciplinary project evaluates the relationship between Spanish and indigenous religious practices and their respective political objectives in proto-historic and colonial New Mexico. Beginning with a discussion of the emergence of a new religious idiom in the Pueblo world during the fourteenth century CE, I investigate the entanglement of political and economic forces with religion up to the conquest of the region by Anglo-Americans in the mid-1840s. In doing so, I highlight the...

Hawaiian Mormons in the Utah Desert: The Negotiation of Identity at Iosepa (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Benjamin C. Pykles.

From 1889 to 1917 Pacific Islander (mostly Hawaiian) converts to Mormonism lived, worked, and worshipped at Iosepa – a remote desert settlement in Utah’s Skull Valley. An examination of the settlement’s design and layout, together with an analysis of petroglyphs at the site, reveal ways this religious community actively negotiated traditional Hawaiian cultural practices and newly adopted Mormon beliefs in shaping and maintaining their unique religious identities – a process that continues among...

Hidden Meaning: A Catholic Reliquary in an Anglican World (2017)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Merry Outlaw.

More than one hundred human burials have been excavated at Jamestown over the past 20 years, and thus far, few have contained grave goods. The discovery of a small box on top of Captain Gabriel Archer’s coffin was, therefore, surprising to archaeologists. Extensive scientific testing determined the box is silver and contains human bone and a lead ampulla. It is a Catholic reliquary, a container to store holy relics—the bones of a saint, and a vial of holy water or blood of a saint. This...
