Book excerpt: Excerpt from Archeological Investigations in the Parita and Santa Maria Zones of Panama The geography Of Panama is best visualized in terms of the volcanic cordillera which, running in a generally east-west direction, separates the wet and dense tropical forests Of the Caribbean coast from the drier and somewhat more seasonal savannas and hilly areas of the southern watershed. This distinction is somewhat blurred in the corridor of the Canal Zone, but even in Darien to the east, where the cordillera is lower and more scattered and where dense tropical growth extends to the Pacific shore, the southern coast remains the drier.

Each chapter is an original or revised work by an internationally-recognized scientist. This second edition is based on the 1996 book of the same title.

New studies are included in order to cover recent developments in the field or additional pertinent topics.

Download or read book Archaeology of the Rivas Region Nicaragua written by Paul Healy and published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ. Press. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Central America before the Spanish Conquest has often been considered by North American archaeologists as a “backwater” of peripheral importance located between the advanced ancient civilizations of South America and Mesoamerica (Mexican–Maya country). Recent archaeological research has revealed that this area played a much more significant role in New World cultural history than was previously thought. Healy’s study examines the archaeological record of one subarea of Southern Central America, the Rivas region of Pacific Nicaragua. The work gives a detailed analysis of excavations and of artifacts recovered at seven significant prehistoric sites. A critical pioneering effort, the monograph documents cultural changes occurring over a 2,000–year time period—changes in technology, material culture, settlement, subsistence, and socio–political organization.

Download or read book Amerindian Socio Cosmologies between the Andes Amazonia and Mesoamerica written by Ernst Halbmayer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-01-10 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new anthropological understanding of the socio-cosmological and ontological characteristics of the Isthmo–Colombian Area, beyond established theories for Amazonia, the Andes and Mesoamerica. It focuses on a core region that has been largely neglected by comparative anthropology in recent decades. Centering on relations between Chibchan groups and their neighbors, the contributions consider prevailing socio-cosmological principles and their relationship to Amazonian animism and Mesoamerican and Andean analogism. Classical notions of area homogeneity are reconsidered and the book formulates an overarching proposal for how to make sense of the heterogeneity of the region’s indigenous groups. Drawing on original fieldwork and comparative analysis, the volume provides a valuable anthropological addition to archaeological and linguistic knowledge of the Isthmo・Colombian Area.

Download or read book Ancient Panama written by Mary W. Helms and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2014-03-19 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ancient Panama adds depth to our understanding of the political and religious elite ruling in Panama at the time of the European conquest. Mary W. Helms's research greatly expands knowledge of the distribution, extent, and structural nature of these pre-Columbian chiefdoms. In addition, Helms delves more deeply into select aspects of ancient Panamanian political systems, including the relationship between elite competition and chiefly status, the use of sumptuary goods in the expression of elite power, and the role of elites in regional and long-distance exchange networks. In a significant departure from traditional thinking, she proposes that the search for esoteric knowledge was more important than economic trade in developing long-distance contact among chiefdoms. The primary data for the study are derived from sixteenth-century Spanish records by Oviedo y Valdés, Andagoya, Balboa, and others. The author also turns to ethnographic data from contemporary native people of Panama, Colombia, tropical America, and Polynesia for analogy and comparison. The result is a highly innovative study which illuminates not only pre-Columbian Panamanian elites but also the nature of chiefdoms as a distinctive cultural type.

Download or read book Behaviour Behind Bones written by Sharyn Jones O'Day and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2003-12-01 with total page 685 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in a series of volumes which form the published proceedings of the 9th meeting of the International Council of Archaeozoology (ICAZ), held in Durham in 2002. The 35 papers present a series of case studies from around the world. They stretch beyond the standard zooarchaeological topics of economy and ecology, and consider how zooarchaeological research can contribute to our understanding of human behaviour and social systems. The volume is divided into two parts. Part 1, Beyond Calories, focuses on the zooarchaeology of ritual and religion. Contributors discuss ways to approach questions of ritual and religion through the faunal record, and consider how material culture depicting and/or associated with animals can provides clues about ideology, religious practices and the role of animals within spiritual systems. Part 2, Equations for Inequality, looks at questions of identity, status and other forms of social differentiation in former human societies. Contributors discuss how differences in food consumption, nutrition, and food procurement strategies can be related to various forms of social differentiation among individuals and groups.
