Food and Society at Real Alto, an Early Formative Community in Southwest Coastal Ecuador
We investigated foodways at Real Alto, an early Formative (4400-1800 BC) Valdivia site in coastal Ecuador, using starch and phytoliths recovered from 50 stone tools from three residential and two ceremonial structures, as well as 46 human dental calculus samples, to explore how food reflects the social relationships and economy of the community. Maize was important in daily meals and ceremonial foods by the Middle Valdivia (2800-2400 BC), but it …
Modeling cultural responses to volcanic disaster in the ancient Jama–Coaque tradition, coastal Ecuador: A case study in cultural collapse and social resilience
Politicization and community in the Pre-Columbian Mississippi Valley
First Towns in the Americas: Searching for Agriculture, Population Growth, and Other Enabling Conditions
Root and Tuber Phytoliths and Starch Grains Document Manioc ( Manihot Esculenta ) , Arrowroot ( Maranta Arundinacea ) , and Llerén ( Calathea sp.) at the Real Alto Site, Ecuador
Maize in ancient Ecuador: Results of residue analysis of stone tools from the Real Alto site
Integration of Archaeological Phase Information and Radiocarbon Results from the Jama River Valley, Ecuador: A Bayesian Approach
Archaeological syntheses of western Ecuadorian prehistory have been hampered by a lack of reliable absolute chronologies and detailed cultural sequences for many key areas, one of which is northern Manabí Province, known principally as the territory of the Jama-Coaque cultural tradition. This study presents a seven-phase cultural sequence for the Jama River valley of northern Manabí that spans over 3,600 calendar years. A statistical model relati…
Regional Archaeology in Northern Manabf, Ecuador
Differential Bone-Refuse Accumulation in Food-Preparation and Traffic Areas on an Early Ecuadorian House Floor
Ethnographic observations of floor formation in an occupied and an abandoned Achuarjeadwelling structure are combined with contemporary taphonomic studies of swept and trampled surfaces. These studies suggest that refuse accumulation and incorporation are markedly different in food-preparation areas with ash deposits around fixed hearth features when compared to regularly trampled traffic areas of domestic earthen house floors. These points are e…
