The Origins of Tradescant’s ‘India Occidentali’ Wooden Clubs
This paper focuses on the material study (radiocarbon dating, wood identification and strontium isotope analyses) of four large ‘India occidentali’ clubs, part of the founding collections of the Ashmolean Museum, in Oxford, and originally part of John Tradescant’s ‘Ark’, in Lambeth (1656). During the seventeenth century, the term ‘India occidentali/occidentales’ referred not only to the ‘West Indies’ (its literal translation), but to the Americas…
Simulating Prehistoric Sea Contacts between Costa Rica and Colombia
Computer simulations of prehistoric voyaging are used to examine direct cultural contacts and possible movements of people between the Caribbean Coast of Colombia and Costa Rica. Contact is recognized archaeologically in the first millennium BC. Between about AD 200 and AD 800/900, and in the succeeding Tairona period of Colombia (ninth century to Spanish conquest), the closest cultural similarities are seen in Costa Rica and Colombia with less s…
The Amber of El Dorado
Laguna Guatavita, a crater‐like lake located in central Colombia, was used by pre‐Columbian Muisca people for a variety of socio‐religious ceremonies, many of which involved casting offerings into the lake. Of these, the installation of a new ‘king’ became the basis of the El Dorado myth that was carried back to Europe by 16th century conquistadores. In the present study, beads collected from Laguna Guatavita during a late 19th/early 20th century…

Heroic endeavour or diaster of hemispheric proportions? What is certain is that Columbus's discovery of the New World resulted in biological and cultural exchanges unprecedented in the history of human populations. This volume brings together 11 scholars - from both sides of the Atantic and from the disciplines of history, archaeology, anthropology, geography and biology - to discuss the nature of the European conquest and its consequences. A maj…
Los sucesos de Malagana vistos desde Calima. Atando cabos en la arqueología del suroccidente colombiano
El saqueo intensivo ha descubierto un rico y variado conjunto de objetos de oro, cerámica y otros materiales de la hacienda Malagana, cerca de Palmira (Departamento del Valle del Cauca) en el fondo del valle plano del río Cauca. Estos objetos descontextualizados tienen a menudo paralelos con los objetos de los complejos culturales del sur oeste de Colombia que datan del primer milenio D.C., y especialmente con Tierradentro y San Agustín. Los vínc…

The Society for American Archaeology
My first reaction on receiving the Editor's invitation to write 'something along the lines of 'the SAA image abroad' or 'how others see us'' was, somewhat to my surprise, a feeling of guilt. For 16 years I have thought of myself as a subscriber to American Antiquity, but never consciously as a member of the SAA. I have never been to the SAA meeting (too big for my taste), usually forget to vote in elections for officers, habitually skip over the …
Terra PretaSoils and Their Archaeological Context in the Caquetá Basin of Southeast Colombia
Investigation of dark earths from two archaeological sites near Araracuara, on the Río Caquetá in Colombian Amazonas, indicates that these soils are anthropic, with characteristics similar to those of theterra pretasoils of the Brazilian Amazon. The Araracuara sites belong to the Camani (plainware) phase of the second to ninth centuries A.D. and to the Nofueri phase (ninth to seventeenth centuries) with pottery of the Polychrome Tradition. The Ar…

Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions
The goal of the Corpus of Maya Hieroglyphic Inscriptions is to document in photographs and detailed line drawings all known Maya inscriptions and their associated figurative art. When complete, the Corpus will have published the inscriptions from over 200 sites and 2,000 monuments. The series has been instrumental in the remarkable success of the ongoing process of deciphering Maya writing, making available hundreds of texts to epigraphers workin…

The City State in Central Mexico at the Time of the Spanish Conquest
When the Spaniards first reached Mexico, one of the things which most impressed them was the existence of cities as large and as architecturally magnificent as any they had known in Europe. The growth and development of urban life has been examined in detail elsewhere, and for present purposes it is sufficient to note that, in areas where the techniques of intensive agriculture encouraged large nucleated settlements, the basic pattern of town lif…

Coca Chewing and High-Altitude Stress
Because the main present-day centres of coca chewing are in the high altiplano regions of Peru and Bolivia, it has been widely assumed that the habit evolved primarily as a response to the stresses of life at high altitudes. When archaeological, ethnohistorical, and botanical sources of evidence are considered, a different emphasis emerges. Before the European conquest, coca was chewed everywhere from Nicaragua to Chile and at all altitudes. This…

Sardinian Beakers
No Sardinian domestic site has yet produced Beaker remains, but complete or fragmentary vessels have been found in eleven funerary deposits (fig. 1). Of these, San Bartolomeo in the extreme south of the island is a burial cave, and Nuraxinieddu is a trench grave. The remaining nine sites are all rock-cut tombs ( domus de janas ) and are grouped together in the zone of sedimentary rocks in the north-west of the island
Neolithic Painted Ware in the Adriatic
The neolithic pottery of peninsular Italy is known in England chiefly through Stevenson's classic paper of 1947 which established the sequence of styles in Apulia, and the Sicilian material through the work of Bernabò Brea [I]. Neither of these studies paid much attention to the Abruzzo-Molise region where Rellini had published material from Ripoli as long ago as 1934 [2] and where more recent work by Radmilli and his associates has provided new …

An Archaeological Sequence From the Vicinity of Buga, Colombia
This paper summarizes the results of a campaign of recon naissance and excavation carried out during the summer of 1964 near the town of Buga (Dept. of Valle) in the Cauca Valley of Colombia (fig. 1)? The area was previously an archaeological blank, lying south of the region where the various Quimbaya pottery styles have been defined (Bennett, 1944, pp. 59-77; Bruhns, ms.), and 55 km. north of the departmental capital of Cali near which James For…
