Slavery behind the Wall
"A significant contribution in Caribbean archaeology. Singleton weaves archaeological and documentary evidence into a compelling narrative of the lives of the enslaved at Santa Ana de Biajacas."--Patricia Samford, author of Subfloor Pits and the Archaeology of Slavery in Colonial Virginia "Presents results of the first historical archaeology in Cuba by an American archaeologist since the 1950s revolution. Singleton's extensive historical research provides rich context for this and future archaeological investigations, and the entire body of her pioneering research provides comparative material for other studies of African American life and institutional slavery in the Caribbean and the Ameri...
Colonial and Postcolonial Change in Mesoamerica
This book offers a new account of human interaction and culture change for Mesoamerica that connects the present to the past. Social histories that assess the cultural upheavals between the Spanish invasion of Mesoamerica and the ethnographic present overlook the archaeological record, with its unique capacity to link local practices to global processes. To fill this gap, the authors weigh the material manifestations of the colonial and postcolonial trajectory in light of local, regional, and global historical processes that have unfolded over the last five hundred years. Research on a suite of issues—economic history, production of commodities, agrarian change, resistance, religious shifts, and sociocultural identity—demonstrates that the often shocking patterns observed today are historically contingent and culturally mediated, and therefore explainable. This book belongs to a new wave of scholarship that renders the past immediately relevant to the present, which Alexander and Kepecs see as one of archaeology’s most crucial goals.
Marxist Archaeology Today
This volume gathers papers written by archaeologists utilising the methods of historical materialism, attesting not only to what Marxism has contributed to archaeology, but also to what archaeology has contributed, and can contribute, to Marxism as a method for interpreting the history of humanity. The book’s contributors consider the question of what archaeology can contribute to a historical perspective on the overcoming of present-day capitalism, synthesising developments in world archaeology, and supplying concrete case studies of the archaeology of the Americas, Europe and the Near East. Contributors are: Guillermo Acosta Ochoa, Marcus Bajema, Bernardo Gandulla, Alex Gonzales-Panta, Pablo Jaruf, Vicente Lull, Savas Michael-Matsas, Rafael Micó, Ianir Milevski, Patricia Pérez Martínez, Cristina Rihuete Herrada, Roberto Risch, Steve Roskams, Henry Tantaleán, Marcelo Vitores, and LouAnn Wurst.
Encyclopedia of Caribbean Archaeology
Encyclopedia of Caribbean Archaeology offers a comprehensive overview of the available archaeological research conducted in the region. Beginning with the earliest native migrations and moving through contemporary issues of heritage management, the contributors tackle the usual questions of colonization, adaptation, and evolution while embracing newer research techniques, such as geoinformatics, archaeometry, paleodemography, DNA analysis, and seafaring simulations. Entries are cross-referenced so that readers can efficiently access data on a variety of related topics. The introduction includes a survey of the various archaeological periods in the Caribbean, as well as a discussion of the region’s geography, climate, topography, and oceanography. It also offers an easy-to-read review of the historical archaeology, providing a better understanding of the cultural contexts of the Caribbean that resulted from the convergence of European, Native American, African, and then Asian settlers.

Sobre campos de batalla. Arqueología de conflictos bélicos en América Latina
La arqueología del conflicto ha tenido un crecimiento exponencial en las últimas décadas, especialmente en aquellos escenarios bélicos que han propiciado abordajes arqueológicos particulares, como son los campos de batalla. En estos espacios efímeros transcurrieron años, días o sólo algunos minutos, tiempo suficiente para anclarse en la memoria colectiva, para que hoy constituyan paisajes de interés para abordar las diversas problemáticas en torno a la guerra. La arqueología, como otras ciencias sociales, ha aportado a la comprensión de los conflictos desde el estudio de la materialidad. En esta ocasión, diversos acercamientos a disímiles contextos históricos aportan una visión propia del conflicto en América Latina.
Esclavos y cimarrones en Cuba
Los estudios sobre la esclavitud en Cuba han sido, y siguen siendo, muy numerosos, especialmente cuando se trata sobre la plantación esclavista desarrollada durante los siglos XVIII y XIX. El territorio que se consagró como máximo exponente de esta etapa fue precisamente la llanura Habana-Matanzas, donde se consolidó el mayor capital de la burguesía cubana de entonces. El desarrollo de las plantaciones, especialmente dedicadas a la explotación del azúcar y el café, conllevó a un incremento exponencial de los esclavos cimarrones a lo largo de todo el archipiélago, en busca de liberarse del yugo esclavista. Los espacios aislados e intrincados, en las montañas o en las ciénagas, fue...

Arqueología histórica en América Latina
Normal 0 21 false false false ES-MX X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 La integración latinoamericana ha sido desde los inicios de las luchas por la independencia y mucho más desde hace varias décadas, uno de los temas más recurrentes desde las políticas nacionales, también desde diversas posturas teóricas, corrientes epistemológicas y desde el ámbito de distintas disciplinas sociales. En mayor o menor medida, muchos han estado de acuerdo con esa mirada integradora que a veces se ve tan distante, pero que con pequeños pasos, algunos intentan llevar a la práctica, materializarla, aunque sea en cuestiones puntuales dentro de la diversidad de problemáticas en las que viven nue...
