The Archaeology of the Pampas and Patagonia

The Archaeology of the Pampas and Patagonia

Autor: Gustavo G. Politis , Luis A. Borrero

Número de Páginas: 331

In this book, Gustavo G. Politis and Luis A. Borrero explore the archaeology and ethnography of the indigenous people who inhabited Argentina's Pampas and the Patagonia region from the end of the Pleistocene until the 20th century. Offering a history of the nomadic foragers living in the harsh habitats of the South America's Southern Cone, they provide detailed account of human adaptations to a range of environmental and social conditions. The authors show how the region's earliest inhabitants interacted with now-extinct animals as they explored and settled the vast open prairies and steppes of the region until they occupied most of its available habitats. They also trace technological advances, including the development of pottery, the use of bows and arrows, and horticulture. Making new research and data available for the first time, Politis and Borrero's volume demonstrates how geographical variation in the Southern Cone generated diverse adaptation strategies.

Foodways of the Ancient Andes

Foodways of the Ancient Andes

Autor: Marta P Alfonso-durruty , Deborah E Blom

Número de Páginas: 385

Eating is essential for life, but it also embodies social and symbolic dimensions. This volume shows how foods and peoples were mutually transformed in the ancient Andes. Exploring the multiple social, ecological, cultural, and ontological dimensions of food in the Andean past, the contributors of Foodways of the Ancient Andes offer diverse theoretical perspectives and methodological approaches that reveal the richness, sophistication, and ingenuity of Andean peoples. The volume spans time periods and localities in the Andean region to reveal how food is intertwined with multiple aspects of the human experience, from production and consumption to ideology and sociopolitical organization. It illustrates the Andean peoples’ resilience in the face of challenges brought about by food scarcity and environmental change. Chapters dissect the intersection of food, power, and status in early states and empires; examine the impact of food during times of conflict and instability; and illuminate how sacred and high-status foods contributed to the building of the Inka Empire. Featuring forty-six contributors from ten countries, the chapters employ new analytical methods, integrating...

Archaeology of Piedra Museo Locality

Archaeology of Piedra Museo Locality

Autor: Laura Miotti , Monica Salemme , Darío Hermo

Número de Páginas: 543

This book highlights the knowledge about landscapes and characteristics of the earliest hunter-gatherer lifeway in Southern Patagonia. It presents an analysis of the archaeological investigations carried out during three decades by an interdisciplinary team that involved archaeologists, anthropologists, paleontologists, geologists and specialists in pollen and diatoms. The database yielded was recovered from systematic survey and excavations from the Pleistocene and Holocene stratigraphic layers of the rockshelter known as AEP-1, Piedra Museo Locality, situated in the central plateau of Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. Piedra Museo is a unique place in the world of high academic interest with some of the earliest archaeological remains in the Americas. Researchers defined two strata and several Stratigraphic units in the site based on the sedimentological and pedological characteristics. The depositional zones contain archaeological remains that are interpreted as hunting events corresponding to two main different occasions in the human colonization of the region, and a third human occupation during the Middle Holocene. Last one occurred then of the massive rockshelter roof...

Nature(s) in Construction

Autor: María Lelia Pochettino , Aylen Capparelli , Pablo C. Stampella , Diego Andreoni

Número de Páginas: 569

This book provides the state of the art of ethnobiology in Argentina and related Latin American countries, highlighting timely trends and topics. It synthesizes studies resulting from the III Jornadas Argentinas de Etnobiología y Sociedad (III JAES—3rd Argentinian Meeting of Ethnobiology and Society), convened in La Plata in 2021. As a relatively new academic development, ethnobiology integrates approaches from different points of view, such as biology, anthropology, geography, history, linguistics, and, in a crucial recent advance, local perspectives. Consequently, this volume contains 33 contributions from 86 authors of different countries, orientations, and disciplines—but all related to interrelationships between people/s and the natural environment. Chapters cover a diverse array of topics, ranging from biocultural relationships and their historical construction through time to conservation of biocultural and agrodiversity, ethnomycology, ethnophycology, and meliponiculture and beyond. The volume’s main goal is to propitiate the preservation of biocultural diversity through the application of ethnobiological wisdom in a global context characterized by the accelerated...

Número de Páginas: 157

Como prolongación de los estudios binacionales que integran la serie Araucanía Norpatagonia, este volumen emerge a partir de la interpelación de la coyuntura provocada por las movilizaciones de octubre de 2019 en Chile, con el objetivo de ampliar las miradas sobre las construcciones sociales y simbólicas en una temporalidad más extensa. En esta línea, los trabajos reunidos dan cuenta, interdisciplinariamente, de las continuidades históricas de la violencia física destinada al sometimiento de la población, de la construcción de una memoria local hegemónica que justifica las desigualdades sociales en dos ciudades de Chile y la Argentina, y de la discriminación por género en la universidad chilena. También se analizan los cuestionamientos de los símbolos públicos hegemónicos y la presencia de otros, alternativos, a partir del análisis de artículos periodísticos, así como la incidencia en la sociedad argentina de la imagen modélica de Chile como faro del modelo neoliberal. El libro resulta de interés para abordar de manera crítica procesos sociales de la historia reciente que siguen vigentes y son relevantes a ambos lados de la frontera de la región...

Isotope Research in Zooarchaeology

Isotope Research in Zooarchaeology

Autor: Ashley E. Sharpe , John Krigbaum

Número de Páginas: 296

New techniques for understanding animal and human interactions in the past Through case studies of faunal remains from Roman Britain, prehistoric Southeast Asia, ancient African pastoral cultures, and beyond, this volume illustrates some of the ways stable isotope analysis of ancient animals can address key questions in human prehistory. Contributors use a diverse set of isotopic techniques to investigate social and biological topics, including human paleodiets and foodways, hunting and procurement strategies, exchange patterns, animal husbandry and the genetic consequences of domestication, and short- and long-term environmental change. They demonstrate how different isotopes can be used alone or in conjunction to address questions of animal diet, movement, ecology, and management. Studies also examine how sampling strategies, statistical techniques, and regional and temporal considerations can influence isotopic results and interpretations. By applying these new methods in concert with traditional zooarchaeological analyses, archaeologists can explore questions about human ecology and environmental archaeology that were previously deemed inaccessible.

During the last two decades, zooarchaeologists have increasingly focused aspects of their work on conservation biology. Zooarchaeological data represent an empirical record of past human-animal interactions, which provides conservation with a deep temporal perspective. There are many challenges that face the archaeologist as conservation biologist, however, that have little to do with deep time, faunal remains, and zooarchaeological method and theory. In this book we use a series of case studies with which each of the authors has relevant personal experience to explore the types of interdisciplinary challenges that zooarchaeologists face when crossing into the world of environmental management and animal conservation. Never has there been a greater need for multi-vocal perspectives in conservation biology. This book shows zooarchaeologists how to use zooarchaeological perspectives to help meet those needs, while crossing traditional academic disciplinary boundaries.

A Prehistory of South America

A Prehistory of South America

Autor: Jerry D. Moore

Número de Páginas: 553

A Prehistory of South America is an overview of the ancient and historic native cultures of the entire continent of South America based on the most recent archaeological investigations. This accessible, clearly written text is designed to engage undergraduate and beginning graduate students in anthropology. For more than 12,000 years, South American cultures ranged from mobile hunters and gatherers to rulers and residents of colossal cities. In the process, native South American societies made advancements in agriculture and economic systems and created great works of art—in pottery, textiles, precious metals, and stone—that still awe the modern eye. Organized in broad chronological periods, A Prehistory of South America explores these diverse human achievements, emphasizing the many adaptations of peoples from a continent-wide perspective. Moore examines the archaeologies of societies across South America, from the arid deserts of the Pacific coast and the frigid Andean highlands to the humid lowlands of the Amazon Basin and the fjords of Patagonia and beyond. Illustrated in full color and suitable for an educated general reader interested in the Precolumbian peoples of South ...

Promesses de Patagonie

Autor: Paz Núñez-regueiro

Número de Páginas: 349

Au xixe siècle, l’Amérique australe est encore perçue comme une région limitrophe entre les mondes connus et inconnus, un espace primordial situé à la dernière frontière qui se déploie entre « civilisation » et « barbarie ». Ce territoire resté hors de toute autorité étatique jusqu’à la décennie de 1880 fascine par sa nature majestueuse et les spécificités biologiques et culturelles de ses habitants : il apparaît comme un livre ouvert sur le temps, susceptible de dévoiler les secrets sur l’évolution de l’espèce humaine. Les disciplines naissantes de l’anthropologie et de l’ethnographie en font ainsi un terrain d’étude privilégié. En remontant la piste des aventuriers français en Patagonie, en Terre de Feu et en Araucanie, cet ouvrage retrace l’histoire des grandes missions d’exploration et de collecte menées dans le sud de l’Argentine et du Chili, et enquête sur la manière dont s’est faite l’appropriation intellectuelle et matérielle des populations du « bout du monde » à Paris, à l’heure de l’essor des musées d’ethnographie.

El divorcio contemporáneo

El divorcio contemporáneo

Autor: Martín Miguel Culaciati

Número de Páginas: 449

"En este trabajo emprendemos un análisis exhaustivo del divorcio desde diversas ópticas, demostrando hasta qué punto la legislación derogada iba a contramano de nuestra realidad y, utilizando el Código Civil y Comercial argentino como punto de partida, para añadir nuestras ideas y aportes sobre la regulación del divorcio en sede extrajudicial. Es nuestra intención contribuir, desde el ámbito académico, al debate actual que presenta la nueva fisonomía del divorcio, y las modificaciones que éste debería encarar para una mayor consonancia con la doctrina de los derechos humanos. La desjudicialización del divorcio consensual constituye, a nuestro juicio, el paso siguiente en su evolución, que ya no debe ser visto como un proceso, sino como la exteriorización de la finalización de la relación afectiva que sustentaba el matrimonio". Martín Miguel Culaciati.

Big Data, Code and the Discrete City

Big Data, Code and the Discrete City

Autor: Silvio Carta

Número de Páginas: 226

Big Data, Code and the Discrete City explores how digital technologies are gradually changing the way in which the public space is designed by architects, managed by policymakers and experienced by individuals. Smart city technologies are superseding the traditional human experience that has characterised the making of the public space until today. This book examines how computers see the public space and the effect of algorithms, artificial intelligences and automated processes on the human experience in public spaces. Divided into three parts, the first part of this book examines the notion of discreteness in its origins and applications to computer sciences. The second section presents a dual perspective: it explores the ways in which public spaces are constructed by the computer-driven logic and then translated into control mechanisms, design strategies and software-aided design. This perspective also describes the way in which individuals perceive this new public space, through its digital logic, and discrete mechanisms (from Wi-Fi coverage to self-tracking). Finally, in the third part, this book scrutinises the discrete logic with which computers operate, and how this is...
