Predation, Propitiation and Performance
Rock art sites located in areas inhabited by indigenous peoples offer extraordinary opportunities for interpretation using ethnographic analogy. Nonetheless, we must examine the pertinence of a direct historical approach when dealing with sequences of rock art that may extend back several millennia. Recent decades have witnessed increasingly sophisticated ethnographic analyses that reveal the intimate relations between human and non-human entitie…
Tecnologías de colonización
En este trabajo se analiza el papel de la producción metalúrgica en dos proyectos coloniales del Orinoco durante el siglo XVIII: un sitio de producción de hierro identificado como forjas catalanas en el Bajo Orinoco, y el sitio arqueológico denominado Pueblo de los Españoles, conocido en la literatura como la misión de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles de Pararuma. Esta investigación ofrece una interesante imagen de la diversidad y complejidad del pa…

Las estaciones sarrapieras
Durante el período de afianzamiento de las economías extractivas en la Amazonía (1870-1960), la región del Orinoco Medio en Venezuela experimentó la explosión comercial de la sarrapia (Dipteryx odorata), semilla aromática utilizada en la industria de la perfumería. La mercantilización de este y otros productos forestales en dicha región marcaría la entrada de numerosas comunidades indígenas a un nuevo régimen de contacto con el capitalismo global…
Anchoring the landscape
Initial archaeological investigations at Cerro Gavilán 2, a rockshelter located in the Bolívar State of Venezuela, reveal evidence for human activity that spans the Early Holocene to the present. This report summarizes the information obtained through surface collection, limited excavation, and documentation of the surface features and rock art in the cave. Accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) 14C analysis established dates from excavated strata t…

The roles of material culture in the colonization of the Orinoco, Venezuela
The analysis of exchange and commerce, the introduction and consumption of foreign manufactures and technologies, and the process of commoditization of Native material products, service and labor, provides the background for the examination of long-term historical process and Native cultural response in the face of different colonial and post-colonial circumstances in the Middle Orinoco. Our analysis focuses on the exchange relations and the form…
Cultural Change and Identity in Mapoyo Burial Practice in the Middle Orinoco, Venezuela
Transformations in Mapoyo burial practice since the eighteenth century are documented in archaeological, ethnographic, and historical evidence and correlated to the ongoing process of contact. In this article we discuss the postcontact history of the Mapoyo, as manifested in attitudes of aperture and resistance that emerged under different historical conditions and that are clearly expressed in the distribution and modes of burial practice. Funer…
