Predation, Propitiation and Performance: Ethnographic Analogy in the Study of Rock Paintings from the Lower Parguaza River Basin, Bolivar State, Venezuela
Rock art sites located in areas inhabited by indigenous peoples offer extraordinary opportunities for interpretation using ethnographic analogy. Nonetheless, we must examine the pertinence of a direct historical approach when dealing with sequences of rock art that may extend back several millennia. Recent decades have witnessed increasingly sophisticated ethnographic analyses that reveal the intimate relations between human and non-human entitie…
Tecnologías de colonización: Metalurgia en las misiones religiosas del Orinoco, siglo XVIII
En este trabajo se analiza el papel de la producción metalúrgica en dos proyectos coloniales del Orinoco durante el siglo XVIII: un sitio de producción de hierro identificado como forjas catalanas en el Bajo Orinoco, y el sitio arqueológico denominado Pueblo de los Españoles, conocido en la literatura como la misión de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Pararuma. Esta investigación ofrece una interesante imagen de la diversidad y complejidad del pa…

Anchoring the landscape: Human utilization of the Cerro Gavilán 2 rockshelter, Middle Orinoco, from the Early Holocene to the present
Initial archaeological investigations at Cerro Gavilán 2, a rockshelter located in the Bolívar State of Venezuela, reveal evidence for human activity that spans the Early Holocene to the present. This report summarizes the information obtained through surface collection, limited excavation, and documentation of the surface features and rock art in the cave. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C analysis established dates from excavated strata t…

Uncommon Commodities: Articulating the Global and the Local on the Orinoco Frontier
Effects of Empire: Gendered Transformations on the Orinoco Frontier
Between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries, several European nations vied for a foothold in the Antilles and the Eastern Coast of South America, resorting to various forms of colonialism that differed in goals and strategies. The eventual conquest of the Guayana region resulted in dramatic processes of population decline and vast sociocultural transformations, even while native actions and responses posed significant challenges to the colonia…
The roles of material culture in the colonization of the Orinoco, Venezuela
The analysis of exchange and commerce, the introduction and consumption of foreign manufactures and technologies, and the process of commoditization of Native material products, service and labor, provides the background for the examination of long-term historical process and Native cultural response in the face of different colonial and post-colonial circumstances in the Middle Orinoco. Our analysis focuses on the exchange relations and the form…
