An assessment of Attawandaron culinary practices in Southern Ontario, Canada using organic residue analysis from archaeological vessels
This collaborative study between settler archaeologists, members of the Six Nations, and Indigenous scholars explores Attawandaron culinary practices in 15th–17th century Southern Ontario through organic residue analysis (ORA) of ceramic vessels, combined with experimental replication. Twenty-two pottery sherds from five Attawandaron settlements were analyzed from legacy collections curated at Sustainable Archaeology McMaster. Lipids were success…
Ceramic production in the Tiwanaku sphere: LA-ICP-MS in the Moquegua, Titicaca, and Cochabamba regions
Diversity on the Altiplano: Geochemical perspectives on 3,000 years of potting practices in the Lake Titicaca basin
Plants in Transit Communities: Circulating Tubers and Maize in the Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia
Archaeologists working in the Late Formative Lake Titicaca Basin have identified several "transit communities"-villages that benefited from long-distance exchange. Some scholars suggest that such places played a key role in the development of the Middle Horizon city of Tiwanaku. In this article, we explore the movement of plant goods into transit communities during both the Late Formative (300 BC-AD 500) and Middle Horizon (AD 600-1100) periods. …
The Paleoenvironmental Humanities: Climate Narratives, Public Scholarship, and Deep Futures
In his keynote, Felix Riede explores how archaeology might contribute to the environmental humanities, an arena he has recently entered with his new position at Aarhus University. Riede reviews the development of this relatively new interdisciplinary engagement and its contribution to climate change discussions. He suggests that we all should be involved in this conversation no matter our particular archaeological theoretical orientation. I parti…
Genealogies and Juxtapositions: Traces of Potting Communities and Firing Facilities in Lake Titicaca Basin
Archaeologies of the Present and Sedimented Futures: Reflections from Lake Titicaca, Bolivia
In this article, I argue for the merits of a future-oriented ethnoarchaeology that engages recent critiques of ethnoarchaeology and underscores the material traces of our own practices. I develop such an approach by discussing the recent work of the Proyecto Ollero Titicaca Sur, an archaeological, ethnographic, and historic project that explores ceramic craft production in the Lake Titicaca basin, Bolivia. This research was originally framed as a…
Temporal Inflection Points in Decorated Pottery: A Bayesian Refinement of the Late Formative Chronology in the Southern Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia
The Late Formative period immediately precedes the emergence of Tiwanaku, one of the earliest South American states, yet it is one of the most poorly understood periods in the southern Lake Titicaca Basin (Bolivia). In this article, we refine the ceramic chronology of this period with large sets of dates from eight sites, focusing on temporal inflection points in decorated ceramic styles. These points, estimated here by Bayesian models, index spe…

Political centers in context: Depositional histories at Formative Period Kala Uyuni, Bolivia
Temporalities of the Formative Period Taraco Peninsula, Bolivia
Within the last 15 years archaeologists have developed a 'dwelling' perspective in studies of prehistoric landscapes. This research takes a critical approach to time, highlighting the temporality of practices in both daily life and longer-term processes. In this article I investigate temporalities of the Middle (800-200 BC) and Late Formative (200 BC-AD 500) periods on the Taraco Peninsula (Bolivia), drawing on data produced by the Taraco Archaeo…
Mobile Humanity: The Delocalization of Anthropological Research
Anthropological research in recent decades has become increasingly multi-sited, envisioning the local as an iteration of world-systemic processes, and following the movement of people, things and ideas across the typical boundaries of sites. This review essay examines four edited volumes concerned with such mobility and dislocation. The cultural anthropological volumes engage with the strengths and perceived weaknesses of multi-sited ethnography,…
Tradition Brought to the Surface: Continuity, Innovation and Change in the Late Formative Period, Taraco Peninsula, Bolivia
Based on more than a decade of research on the Taraco Peninsula, Titicaca Basin, Bolivia, we discuss the role of memory, tradition and ancestral participation from the earliest settled communities to the founding and influence of the Tiwanaku order. We examine the shifting role of social memory vis-à-vis public ceremonies, pottery and food production. While the earlier phases give a sense of familial community and the construction of place throug…
