New Manteños Social Spaces: The Materiality of Ligüiqui (Manabí, Ecuador)

Summary

This is an abstract from the "Recent Innovations in Ecuadorian Archaeology" session, at the 86th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.

The "Perduraciones" project, which has been taking place in the central area of the Ecuadorian coast since 2018, has focused part of their research on the characterization of the social space resulting from the process of articulating European colonization on the present coast of Ecuador during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. In the first phase of the project, research is trying to characterize the modification in the landscape and territory that involved the traumatic process of conquest. At the same time, the excavation of a site with phases of the final manteño period (Ligüiqui), pretends to be an element of contrast with the new reality imposed by the colony. In this work, we present a first approximation to the materiality of this site, their chronology, and its characteristics, among which especially the stone fishing corrals.
