Ethnoarchaeology of Mortuary Practices
Death is not the end, but rather a beginning. Drawing on historical sources and ethnographic fieldwork with the Wayana Indigenous People of French Guiana, this essay explores the interrelationships embodied during mortuary practices and personal treatment of the dead. This research emerged from questions raised during the archaeological excavations at Anse à la Gourde, Guadeloupe, and, in turn, contributes to the study of burial practices in Cari…
Kuwamai
How Amazonian Indigenous Peoples combatted emergent epidemic diseases in colonial times, and their innovative responses to epidemiological crises, has not received sufficient attention. This study outlines a clash of cultures and an entanglement of places and people related to pandemic diseases and epidemic death in the Eastern Guiana Highlands, northern Amazonia. By means of archival and historical sources, the article provides eyewitness insigh…
The Humble Ethnographer
Thanks to Renzo Duin's annotated translation, the voice of Lodewijk Schmidt—an Afrodiasporic Saramaka Maroon from Suriname—is finally available for Anglophone audiences worldwide. More than anything else, Schmidt's journals constitute meticulous ethnographic accounts telling the tragic story of the Indigenous Peoples of the Eastern Guiana Highlands (northern Brazil and southern French Guiana and Suriname). Schmidt's is a story that takes account …
Archaeological Agenda in the Guianas
The Wrath of Zemi
Drawing on more than twenty years of research and long-term in-depth field experience in the Neotropics, this article argues for an indigenous methodology for predicting the arrival of hurricanes in the Caribbean. The archaeological site under study is Anse à la Gourde on Guadeloupe (French West Indies), here discussed in conjunction with a theoretical underpinning in Indigenous Amazonian cosmologies and ethnoastronomy. The conceptualisation for …
Cochasquí (Ecuador)
This study develops a conceptualisation of the origin and historical sequencing of the ramped platform pyramids at Cochasquí Archaeological Park, Ecuador, and is intended to stimulate further interdisciplinary research in the fields of archaeology, ethnohistory, ethnoastronomy and archaeoastronomy. Through analysing ethnohistorical sources on indigenous agricultural practices in the Andes, a hypothesis is developed as to the purpose for which the…

In short, artifacts body forth specific 'ways of sensing' and they must be approached through the senses, rather than as 'texts' to be read or mere visual 'signs' to be decoded
Archaeology of Engagement
Throughout the past 20 years, Amazonian archaeology conceptualized new perspectives on past tropical forest cultures due to a deepening engagement of archaeologists with local indigenous communities. In a recent article, Tim Murray reviewed the maturing relationship between archaeologists and indigenous people over the past 25 years, wherein he mainly addressed the decolonization of archaeology in Australia, New Zealand, and North America. Exampl…
Historical complexity of myth
This article discusses the conditions of the genesis of the nineteenth century Wayana whip-dance, aiming for what Terence Turner coined "ethno-ethnohistory", through the method of Neil Whitehead's "ethnography of historical consciousness". This study outlines an indigenous historical consciousness of the social present in Guiana as related to events from the past, by means of the entanglement of things, places, and people related to this whip-dan…
Arqueologia Engajada
Novas perspectivas sobre as paisagens sociopolíticas de culturas de florestas tropicais do passado têm surgido nos últimos vinte anos na arqueologia amazônica. A evolução das relações entre arqueólogos e povos indígenas da Amazônia, bem como a integração da prática arqueológica com o conhecimento dos povos indígenas da região, levou recentemente a descobertas científicas surpreendentes na Amazônia. O presente artigo é um relato de pesquisa sobre …
