The History of Archaeobotanical Research on the Island of Puerto Rico and Its Relationship with Notions of Poor Preservation of Macro-botanical Remains on Archaeological Contexts (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Jose Garay-Vazquez. Dorian Fuller. José Oliver.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2019: General Sessions" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Archaeobotanical research of macro-botanical remains in the Caribbean is scarce due to notions of poor preservation in tropical landscapes. This shifted archaeobotanical research towards the analysis of micro-botanical remains because these types of analysis have been reported as more successful for recovering data of subsistence practices in the Neotropics....

The Homol’ovi Research Project – The View from ASU (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Andrew Duff. Wesley Bernardini. Gregson Schachner.

It is unlikely that we will see a research effort of the scope and duration of the Homol’ovi Research Program project replicated in the Southwest. It is the successful execution of this work by Chuck Adams and Rich Lange, unfolding over more than three decades, that we will attempt to contextualize from the vantage point of that other university in Arizona, ASU. We begin by reviewing the intellectual context of Southwestern research preceding the Homol’ovi project, in particular how the...

The Hunters Were Here First: Paleoindian Research in the Greater Southwest (2019)

DOCUMENT Citation Only David Kilby.

This is an abstract from the "The Paleoindian Southwest" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In attempting to work out the chronological relationship between a newly discovered mammoth kill and plant processing sites in southern Arizona in the 1950s, Emil Haury succinctly concluded, "the hunters were here first." In the ensuing decades, it became clear that underlying the relatively conspicuous archaeological record of the agricultural Southwest is an...

DOCUMENT Citation Only Ramon Folch.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2021: General Sessions" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. Research on the Postclassic period at Lake Miramar in the southern Lacandon Jungle of Chiapas permits identifying the fortified island of Lakam-Tun. The site was destroyed in 1586 by Juan de Morales Villavicencio in his attempt to conquer the Cholti'-Lacandon, who then sheltered deeper in the jungle until 1695. Earlier research failed to locate important...

Identity and Heritage: Moving beyond Twentieth-Century Archaeology in the Caribbean (2023)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Diana Quintero Bisono.

This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. The development of archaeology in the Caribbean is deeply embedded in the colonialist and imperialist history of the region. For many years, archaeologists studied the area in a contentious manner, which in turn impacted the local research capacity for fields such as archaeology. The effects of colonialist and imperialist agendas that extended into the...

Images of the Living Past: 19th-Century Moche Archaeological Photographs and Everyday Indigeneity in the Northern Peruvian Andes (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Walther Maradiegue.

This presentation analyzes late 19th-century photography of Moche pre-Columbian buildings, as a way to inspect the buildings’ incorporation into everyday indigenous lives. I will focus on the work by German scientist Hans Heinrich Brüning (1848-1928). First arrived as an engineer hired by the most important sugar haciendas of the region, Brüning’s interests quickly shifted towards archaeological and ethnographic studies during his stay in the Northern Peruvian Andes between 1875 and 1920. His...

The Imbalanced Archaeology of Honduras: Challenges and Potentials (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Markus Reindel. Franziska Fecher.

This paper presents a brief overview over past and current trends in non-Maya archaeology of Honduras. From the beginnings of archaeological investigations in Honduras, there has been a strong research focus on the Maya city of Copan in the extreme west of the country. But already in early years, pioneers like William D. Strong, Doris Stone and Claude Baudez made valuable contributions, in order to reveal the hidden history of central Honduras, the Atlantic and the Pacific coast. The lack of...

This is an abstract from the "The Legacies of The Basin of Mexico: The Ecological Processes in the Evolution of a Civilization, Part 1" session, at the 84th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology. In June 1960, Eric Wolf organized an NSF-sponsored conference of 11 American and Mexican archaeologists held at the University of Chicago to evaluate the status of previous anthropological studies focusing on the Basin of Mexico and to coordinate future research. This led to two...

Incised Lines: Mortuary Ceramics and Their Role in Defining Protohistoric Chronologies in the Far Northeast 1900–1960 (2018)

DOCUMENT Citation Only Trevor Lamb.

The first half of the twentieth century saw the creation of many professional and avocational archaeological institutions in Eastern Massachusetts. These institutions were motivated to both understand the prehistory of the Northeast, and to build large museum collections for comparative and public engagement purposes. The drive to acquire largely intact objects led to the excavation of many graves throughout New England and the Maritime Provinces, but the frequent discovery of graves in Eastern...
