An Early Etruscan Toddler’s Grave in the Transitional Trench Tomb Cemetery of San Simone, San Giuliano (VT): Wealth, Status, and the Hopes of a Family
In this article, we report on a noteworthy early Etruscan trench tomb of a young child, most likely a girl, found intact within the cemetery of San Simone at the San Giuliano necropolis (Viterbo Province). The richly appointed grave contained the remains of a toddler aged 2–3 years, inhumed with wealth befitting an elite adult woman. Typically, the tombs of infants and young children are thought to portray status ascribed to their kin group. The …
Glass from the 11th–13th century medieval castle of San Giuliano (Lazio Province, Central Italy)
Queros as Inalienable Objects: Ritual Drinking Vessels and the End of the Inka Empire at Moqi (Locumba Valley, Southern Peru)
Mutual toasting using pairs of intricately carved wooden cups, called queros, was the fundamental act incorporating local communities into the Inka Empire (AD 1400-1532). These cups then remained in the possession of provincial communities and were used to reaffirm political ties in subsequent state-sponsored events. I argue that the value of these cups derives from their inalienability: they were indelibly imbued with the power of the Inka state…
Doctrinal and Physical Marginality in Christian Death: The Burial of Unbaptized Infants in Medieval Italy
The burial of unbaptized fetuses and infants, as seen through texts and archaeology, exposes friction between the institutional Church and medieval Italy's laity. The Church's theology of Original Sin, baptism, and salvation left the youngest children especially vulnerable to dying unbaptized and subsequently being denied a Christian burial in consecrated grounds. We here present textual and archaeological evidence from medieval Italy regarding t…

De provincia inca a repartimiento: Tarapaca en los siglos XV y XVI (Andes Centro Sur)
The Inca Empire reorganized conquered populations in different jurisdictions imposing the decimal system over local chieftainships or curacazgos, creating new provinces or administrative units where the local authorities lost, maintained or amplified their regional power. The system of encomiendas implemented by early Hispanic conquerors instrumentalized the indigenous political organization active in Inca times as a strategy to maintain the cohe…
Symbolizing imperial affiliation in death
During Inka imperial expansion (AD 1400–1532), political affiliations among provincial peoples were often highly contested, even within a single community. Mortuary ritual was one arena in which an individual’s political affiliation was performed and made manifest, in part through the strategic inclusion or exclusion of Inka-style grave goods. Using pottery and other types of funerary offerings, this chapter analyzes three case studies documentin…
From Etruscan urban centre to medieval fortified village: San Giuliano Archaeological Research Project
Ongoing excavations at San Giuliano in central Italy are providing detailed evidence for testing explanatory models of cyclical shifts in settlements and socio-economic organisation from the Etruscan to medieval periods (c. 800 BC-AD 1300
Empires as social networks: Roads, connectedness, and the Inka incorporation of northern Chile
Under the rubric of “connectedness,” we investigate the Inka incorporation of northern Chile (A.D. 1450–1532). Using ceramic diversity as a proxy for economic connections, we argue that the Inka selected Tarapacá Viejo as an administrative center because of its already extensive trade relationships. Applying social network analysis we then evaluate how the Inka structured their administration of northern Chile. Four measures of centrality demonst…
Architecture and Empire at Late Prehispanic Tarapacá Viejo, Northern Chile
Imperial conquest and subsequent strategies of integration can be detected in changes to regional infrastructure, such as road systems and the architectural layout and construction techniques of provincial settlements. Located in the Tarapac Valley of northern Chile, the site of Tarapac Viejo underwent significant architectural remodeling when the valley was incorporated into the Inka empire in the XV century AD. This article examines (1) how Tar…

Late Pre-Hispanic and Early Colonial Silver Production in the Quebrada De Tarapacá, Northern Chile
Drawing on a survey of the Quebrada de Tarapacá in northern Chile and excavations at the Inka and Colonial administrative site of Tarapacá Viejo, we present archaeological evidence of small-scale purification of silver using lead. We argue that the use of techniques to refine silver-bearing ores most likely began in the Late Horizon (AD 1450-1532), when local metallurgists may have processed minerals from the nearby silver mines of Huantajaya as …
