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…
Dynamic heritage as a path to collaborative knowledge production in Tahcabo, Yucatán, Mexico
Drawing on an oral histories project with youth to investigate a church in Tahcabo, Yucatán, Mexico, we demonstrate how previous approaches to colonial architecture, which interpret colonial buildings as temporally inert remnants of colonial powers, contradict local understandings of these structures. Our process of engaging with youth highlighted heritage as a dynamic social process rather than exclusively an artefact or archaeological site and …
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…
