This process of cultural reproduction can be endangered when migra- tion, displacement, or changes in property regimes limit communities’ access to sites where they have important historical connections. Around the world, formal legal statutes, grassroots organizations, and local acts of resistance can play differ- ent roles in reasserting these connections between people and place. Accordingly, the claims that contemporary stakeholders make on archaeological sites and related landscape features extend beyond the simple desire for conservation or site preser- vation and include the rights to visit, inhabit, and even alter the physical composi- tion of these spaces. The essays in this volume are an interdisciplinary exploration of these intersec- tions between the study and management of physical sites and the reproduction of intangible cultural legacies. Some chapters focus on more abstract theoretical insights into societies’ relationship to different places and how this relationship fig- ures in the reproduction of cultural continuities amidst processes of social change. Other essays turn to more pragmatic ways in which these insights figure in contem- porary negotiations through which different groups seek greater access or control over culturally significant sites and landscapes.A s a group, they are meant to pro- vide a comparative body of case studies that explore the different ways in which DOI : 10.5876/9781607325727.c001 3 4 A RMSTRONG-FUMERO AND GuTIERREZ place is mediated by social, political, and ecological processes that have deep his- torical roots and that continue to effect the politics of heritage management today. The close relationship between physical space and more ephemeral manifesta- tions of culture and social organization are a common thread joining diverse currents of anthropological and archaeological research. Since the rise of New Archaeology in the 1960s and 1970s, archaeological research has focused on recon- structing long-term patterns of culture and social structure. Working “up” from the material traces of human behavior, the processualists and their various intellectual successors and competitors have been keenly attuned to the intimate and dynamic relationship between the materiality of space and the more intangible dimensions of human behavior and experience. In cultural and linguistic anthropology, a num- ber of theoretical currencies that focus on the intersections of space and culture gained prominence in the 1990s and 2000s. These range from studies of the spatial- ization of collective memory that were inspired by the work of Pierre Norá (1989), to linguistic analyses of the intimate relationship between patterns of reference and the social organization of space (Hanks 1990), to studies of environment that focus on the intimate ties between evolving ecosystems and patterns of settlement and subsistence (Ford and Nigh 2015; Gordillo 2004; Wright 2014).

  • Rituales Religiosos Como Una Base Del Poder De Huaricanga-Paramonga
    Resultados preliminares: Rituales religiosos como una base del poder de Huaricanga-Paramonga Por Matthew Piscitelli (El Museo Field) y Carmela Alarcón Ledesma Introducción La investigación arqueológica ha revelado una gran variedad de estrategias de liderazgo utilizadas por los individuos en el pasado para alterar la estructura de las relaciones sociales (Blanton et al. 1996; Clark 2000; Clark y Blake 1994; DeMarrais et al. 1996; Earle 1997; Feinman 1995; Hayden 1995; Hoopes 2005; Spencer 1993). Una de estas vías es el control de la ideología religiosa. A menudo, esta trayectoria es despedida como agente causal en las transformaciones políticas o, en el mejor, simplemente se le restó importancia como medio para legitimar la autoridad (Demarest y Conrad 1992; Eagleton 2007; Friedrich 1989; Haas 1982). Sin embargo, los rituales religiosos son un base de poder para los que crean y / o participar en ellos (Humphrey y Laidlaw 1994; Inomata y Coben 2006; Insoll 2004; Kyriakidis 2007; Potter y Perry 2000; Rappaport 1999). A través de una mejor comprensión de las actividades rituales es posible investigar cómo los actores políticos en el contexto de una sociedad compleja emergente negociaron el medio social a través de la performatividad discursiva ceremonial. En el tercer milenio a.C. la arquitectura ceremonial fue de pequeña escala en la costa de Perú, como vehículo como evaluador de la naturaleza cambiante de las prácticas rituales realizados por los primeros líderes, ya que incorporaron sistemáticamente la religión en su base del poder. El Período Arcaico Tardío (3000-1800 a.C.), fue testigo de la aparición y el florecimiento de múltiples comunidades con montículos de plataformas monumentales y las plazas hundidas circulares (Creamer et al.

  • Place Names Describing Fossils in Oral Traditions
    Place names describing fossils in oral traditions ADRIENNE MAYOR Classics Department, Stanford University, Stanford CA 94305 (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract: Folk explanations of notable geological features, including fossils, are found around the world. Observations of fossil exposures (bones, footprints, etc.) led to place names for rivers, mountains, valleys, mounds, caves, springs, tracks, and other geological and palaeonto- logical sites. Some names describe prehistoric remains and/or refer to traditional interpretations of fossils. This paper presents case studies of fossil-related place names in ancient and modern Europe and China, and Native American examples in Canada, the United States, and Mexico. Evidence for the earliest known fossil-related place names comes from ancient Greco-Roman and Chinese literature. The earliest documented fossil-related place name in the New World was preserved in a written text by the Spanish in the sixteenth century. In many instances, fossil geonames are purely descriptive; in others, however, the mythology about a specific fossil locality survives along with the name; in still other cases the geomythology is suggested by recorded traditions about similar palaeontological phenomena. The antiquity and continuity of some fossil-related place names shows that people had observed and speculated about miner- alized traces of extinct life forms long before modern scientific investigations. Traditional place names can reveal heretofore unknown geomyths as well as new geologically-important sites. Traditional folk names for geological features in the Named fossil sites in classical antiquity landscape commonly refer to mythological or and modern Greece legendary stories that accounted for them (Vitaliano 1973). Landmarks notable for conspicuous fossils Evidence for the practice of naming specific fossil have been named descriptively or mythologically locales can be found in classical antiquity.

Special thanks are given to Dr. Douglas Richmond who encouraged my topic from the very beginning and as the committee chair actively supported my endeavor. May 1, 2008 iii DEDICATED TO MY LOVING WIFE AND SONS Lindsey, Josh, and Jamie iv ABSTRACT SYMBOL OF CONQUEST, ALLIANCE, AND HEGEMONY: THE IMAGE OF THE CROSS IN COLONIAL MEXICO Zachary Wingerd, PhD. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2008 Supervising Professor: Douglas Richmond The universality of the cross image within the transatlantic confrontation meant not only a hegemony of culture, but of symbolism. The symbol of the cross existed in both European and American societies hundreds of years before Columbus. In both cultures, the cross was integral in religious ceremony, priestly decoration, and cosmic maps. As a symbol of life and death, of human and divine suffering, of religious and political acquiescence, no other image in transatlantic history has held such a perennial, powerful message as the cross. For colonial Mexico, which felt the brunt of Spanish initiative, the symbol of the cross penetrated the autochthonous culture out of which the independent nation and indigenous church were born.

Solemn pilgrimages honor gods both Christian and indigenous. Neon-lit discos get jam-packed with reveling youth. Ancient ruins regularly divulge bits of prehistory. And then, of course, there is the food – a bounty of sublime concoctions made from ingredients native and contemporary. Welcome to Peru – it’s going to be one tasty trip.
