Indigenous resistance to the Spanish Crown in the Araucania region of south-central Chile is infrequently included in wider discussions of early American colonialism. Until recently, what has been inadequately addressed in these discussions is the parlamentos (peace treaties) associated with Spanish efforts to seize territorial control of the region. In this paper, we highlight the potential of landscape analysis to enhance our archival and archaeological understanding of the long historical confrontation between the Araucanians and the Spanish from the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries. The Spanish were unable to defeat the indigenous populations living south of the Bio Bio River, the formal frontier established between the Crown and the Araucanians. However, they enacted numerous parlamentos in hope of establishing military footholds. Because the Spaniards failed to conquer the region, parlamentos eventually developed into compromised acts of observing and monitoring military movements and of recruiting allied indigenous groups. On the basis of this interdisciplinary examination, we argue that Spanish parlamentos were a ‘panopticon’-like network of political surveillance, designed to provide a visible signal of the wider political activities taking place beyond the formal frontier. The panopticon model provides a metaphorical and conceptual framework for conceiving this aspect of Spanish and Araucanian relations and for defining one cause of successful indigenous resiliency to external influence. 相似文献

Until a few years ago North-West Africa was ignored in our hypothesis on the neolithization of Western Mediterranean. Moreover, the few excavations focused exclusively on the test of stratigraphies in order to obtain chronological sequences. Recently developed archaeological projects allowed the inclusion of this region in the scientific debate on the origin and evolution of its Neolithic, on the contacts with the Iberian Peninsula through the Strait of Gibraltar, as well as on the documentation of ways of live, habitation structures, and economic strategies. The open area excavation of Zafrín, in the Chafarinas Isles – an archipelago located a short distance from the North African coast – and the full analysis of its lithic industry (technology, typology and use-wear), here presented, represents a novelty on the Neolithic research in North Africa. This in turn will permit us to approach subsistence strategies and the way of life developed by the Neolithic communities of the region. 相似文献

The use of minimum number of individuals (MNI) in the analysis of mammal archaeofaunal assemblages has received intense criticism
for its derived nature and its dependence of biasing variables. Some authors have argued that similar taxonomic variability
as documented by MNI can be achieved with other less biased measuring units, such as number of identified specimens (NISP)
and derivates thereof. The present study is the first experimentally controlled test that shows the degree of bias of estimates
of MNI and NISP by different analysts. It shows that the margins of error of both measuring units are independent and that
MNI can be more accurately estimated than NISP, despite its “derived” inferential nature. 相似文献

This paper examines the level and evolution of polarization in regional per capita income in the European Union between 1977 and 1999. In this analysis, non-parametric estimation techniques are combined with the calculation of various polarization measures. The results obtained suggest a decrease in regional polarization in the European context during the period analysed, as a consequence of various factors, at times working in opposite directions. The findings also reveal the existence of discrepancies between the evolution of polarization and regional inequality. Finally, the analysis carried out highlights the importance of the role played by the national component and the spatial dimension in the formation of homogeneous groups of regions linked by similar development levels in the distribution under study. 相似文献

This paper examines skeletal and ancient DNA evidence in the study of suspected tuberculosis infection in the late pre-Hispanic and Colonial-era Lambayeque Valley Complex, north coast Peru (A.D. 900–1750). We integrate information on macroscopic lesion characteristics and distribution, radiographic and CT scan imagery, and analysis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex rpoB and IS6110 ancient DNA (aDNA) sequences. Destructive lesions were observed in the vertebral bodies of three precontact indigenous adult males, one colonial adolescent female, and in the cranium of a Colonial-period subadult. Assessment of lesion morphology and distribution led us to consider multiple diseases, but tuberculosis represents the most likely diagnostic option in all individuals. DNA was poorly preserved in all samples, but an IS6110 sequence was amplified in one precontact individual consistent with macroscopic diagnosis. These findings expand the geographic and temporal extent of tuberculosis to the late pre-Hispanic and Colonial north coast of Peru to highlight potential synergisms between diet, settlement patterns, and the evolution of Andean tuberculosis before and after European conquest. Moreover, this study helps focus several key questions in Andean tuberculosis research, including possible reassessment of the presence of the IS6110 sequence in the pre-Columbian Americas. Methodological considerations include differential diagnosis – especially with incomplete skeletons – and limitations of aDNA studies underscoring an approach integrating macroscopic, radiographic, and molecular lines of evidence in the paleopathological investigation of one of humankind’s most devastating and destabilizing diseases. 相似文献

We report a collaborative maritime archaeological project in Uruguay, one of several Latin American countries where the subject
is undergoing review in terms of the ways it is practised and managed. Uruguay is typical of many states where there has been
a tension between a heritage-based approach in which the results of investigations are viewed as publicly owned, as opposed
to the profit motive in which commercial and personal gain is the underlying ethic. This project was conceived both as a way
of assisting the Uruguayan Heritage Commission in promoting the former approach as well as advancing a programme of research
into the age of global exploration. This paper sets out the rationale of the initial field season and reflects on subsequent
developments. 相似文献

A pollen diagram was prepared from Lake Almalou, a volcanic crater wetland located on the eastern flanks of the Sahand Volcanic Complex in NW Iran. The core provides a 3700-year record of human activity and environmental change in an upland region. We attempt to relate vegetation changes to both climatic change and historical events. Variations of anthropogenic pollen indicators suggest several phases of intensified human activities. Two strongly expressed agricultural phases are dated at about 2450–2220 cal BP (Achaemenid Empire) and 230–30 cal BP (collapse of Safavid Dynasty to the modern period). Historical rather than climatic events appear to be the main controlling factors for upland land-use dynamics. Fruticulture has been practiced in the region at least since the Iron Age, reaching its maximum importance 1500–1250 cal BP during the reign of Sassanid Empire; it declined by the time of Islamic conquest of Iran (651 AD). The Little Ice Age is tangibly recorded by higher lake water levels most probably due to both lower summer temperatures and higher annual precipitations. Low values of cereal-type and cultivated tree pollen during this period may indicate a change in the lifestyle from the cultivation of fields and orchards to a more nomadic life dominated by summer pasture. The modern period (1850 AD onwards) is characterized by expansion of agricultural activities to upland areas and intensified pastoralism. 相似文献
