Ethics in archaeobotany: Identifying current issues and initiating a declaration of principles
This article presents the first systematic assessment of ethical concerns specific to archaeobotanical research, focusing on principles and values. Conducted by an international group of archaeobotanists, the study used an anonymous online survey to document experiences and perceptions within the archaeobotanical community with the aim of raising awareness, identifying prevalent good practices and noting points for improvement. The questionnaire …
Sinkhole Microcosms: Understanding Persistence of Place Through Variable Cultivation Strategies in Northeastern Yucatán, Mexico
Sinkholes contributed to persistent human inhabitation of the northern Yucatán peninsula of Mexico for more than two millennia. Building on previous work on the use of sinkholes central to the town of Tahcabo and elsewhere in the Maya area, this study presents pollen, soil carbon isotope, radiocarbon, and artifactual evidence from four geomorphic features. They include the perennially wet cenote situated in the town center and three dry sinkholes…
Tracing the structural consequences of colonialism in rural Yucatán, Mexico
Archaeologists from the United States working in what is referred to as the Maya area have paid insufficient attention to the structural violence of colonial rule and how their own narratives may perpetuate it. This article addresses the pervasive effects of colonial violence on farming communities in Yucatán, Mexico, which resulted in the undercutting of sustainable livelihoods and the imposition of hierarchies leading to systemic racism. The in…
Lived Heritage of Colonialism at Tahcabo, YucatÁn, MÉxico
Knowledge of the archaeological expression of colonialism at Tahcabo, Yucatán, México—occupied since 300 BCE—is a work in progress that is both aided and hindered by the continued occupation of the town. Likewise, colonial heritage is a lived experience in this old Yucatec Maya town that exhibits great pride in the tradition of bull fighting and the remains of an early colonial church. Employing a community-collaborative approach to understanding…
Yucatec Land and Labor before and after Spanish Incursions
Influential landscapes: Temporal trends in the agricultural use of rejolladas at Tahcabo, Yucatán, Mexico
Photovoice as a method for the development of collaborative archaeological practice
This article evaluates the extent to which the participatory method photovoice can be a useful tool for archaeologists working collaboratively with communities. It involves distributing cameras to a small group of participants who take photographs relevant to research questions that they then discuss and analyse. Photovoice may be useful to archaeologists trying to understand how collaborators relate to cultural heritage, and what they identify a…
