Mesoamerican Osteobiographies: Revealing the Lives and Deaths of Ancient Individuals
Heavenly Meals and Humble Hearts: Foodways in a Jesuit Context in Spanish Colonial New Granada and Early Republican Colombia
This research explores how bone isotopic data (δ13C, δ15N), in combination with analyses of dental pathology, dental calculus, and archival research, can illustrate relationships between food, colonization, social identities, and the norms of religious life in Colonial and Republican Bogotá, Colombia. We analyze skeletal remains from the San Ignacio Jesuit Church, an important colonial landmark that has served as a space of sacred burial for 400 …
Cortical bone maintenance and loss in Colonial Mexico City: Analysis of sex‐ and age‐related differences
Previous research has demonstrated significant age‐ and sex‐related differences in bone loss in European populations. This study utilizes metacarpal radiogrammetry to analyze cortical bone thickness and bone loss for a sample of indigenous individuals ( n = 120) from the Hospital Real San José de los Naturales (HSJN) skeletal collection in Colonial Mexico City. The results indicate statistically significant differences between males and females i…
Working in the City: An Historical Bioarchaeology of Activity in Urban New Spain
Caring for Bodies or Simply Saving Souls: The Emergence of Institutional Care in Spanish Colonial America
Bioarchaeological Perspectives on the Materiality of Everyday Life Activities
The activities of everyday life influence not only the extrasomatic material world, but also the material properties of our own bodies. Living bone tissue is a dynamic material that responds to external and internal stimuli to alter its size, shape, and structure, and the repetitive actions from daily life performances leave traces that can be interpreted from archaeological skeletal remains. This chapter examines how the human body can be interp…
Cloth Production and Economic Intensification in the Area Surrounding Chichen Itza
Recent investigations at the site of Xuenkal on the plains north of Chichén Itzá provide evidence of the changing regional political environment during the Terminal Classic Period (A.D. 900-1000). This paper examines a collection of spindle whorls recovered during the 2005, 2006, and 2007 field seasons of the Proyecto Arqueológico Xuenkal (PAX) as evidence for intensification of craft production. Through this analysis and comparison with spindle …
