  • Labor and Natural Resource Extraction in Spanish Colonial Contexts

    Mary Van BurenCHAPTERRoutledge Handbook of the…2021

    The Spanish conquest of the Americas was largely motivated by the promise of mineral wealth, and control over the labor needed to extract ore and other natural resources shaped institutions, politics, and daily life in the colonies. This chapter provides an overview of archaeological research conducted thus far on labor and resource extraction and then offers a case study centered on Indigenous metal production in Porco, a mining center in south-…

    Los arqueólogos actuales tienen la oportunidad de participar en el desarrollo de una antropología histórica (Lightfoot 1995), en la que la investigación arqueológica de la época después de la conquista conecta el pasado prehispánico con el presente. Este trabajo procura contribuir a este tipo de arqueología a través del examen de algunos datos obtenidos por el Proyecto Arqueológico Porco-¬Potosí en Porco, un centro minero ubicado en Bolivia, a 35…

    Metal production has been a key economic activity in the southern Andes for the last 2,000 years, but relatively little is known about the indigenous technology used to process and smelt ores, in part because these activities are often difficult for investigators to identify in the archaeological record. In 2001 and 2002, members of the Proyecto Arqueológico Porco-Potosí had the opportunity to observe the use of indigenous smelting technology to …

    Excavation of an agave-roasting site in southern Arizona disclosed an unexpectedly large collection of sherds. Sherd aggregation and use-alteration analyses were undertaken to determine the role of the ceramics in agave processing. Results indicate that sherds and not vessels were brought to the site, and that sherds may have been used as scoops and possibly as nonflammable covers or receptacles during agave processing. These findings underscore …
