On Finance: Toward an Archaeology of Debt of Colonial New Mexico
Author(s): Olganydia Plata Aguilera
Year: 2023
Summary
This is an abstract from the "SAA 2023: Individual Abstracts" session, at the 88th annual meeting of the Society for American Archaeology.
This poster presents the results of faunal, ceramic, and lithic analyses of the San Antonio del Embudo midden, a refuse site for a small Hispano agropastoral community in the northern borderlands of the Spanish Empire. These analyses are informed by both archived and new translations of the last will and testaments of the original proprietors of the San Antonio del Embudo land grant, the Martins. By interlocking analyses of archaeological and archival material, this poster ultimately aims to complicate current understandings of financial relations (particularly, debt relations) in the protocapitalist context of colonial New Mexico.
