Underwater and coastal archaeology in Latin America
xxiii, 393 pages : illustrations, maps ; 25 cm.
Diverse case studies that explore the relationship between humans and water environments. This volume features a range of theoretical and methodological approaches to underwater and coastal archaeology in Latin America. Showcasing the efforts of 82 researchers working across the region, the case studies in this book point to a long tradition of practices and beliefs related to the exploitation and management of aquatic environments, displaying a wide chronological vision that recognizes the vast and rich precolonial heritage of these waters. Chapters on the pre-Hispanic period include an analysis of evidence about the exploitation of maritime resources, ritual practices related to water, ancestral navigation and inundated cultural landscapes, addressing examples from Mesoamerica, the Central American isthmus and the Andes. Historical case studies are also explored, including shipwrecks, harbors and maritime coastal landscapes in the Caribbean, on the Atlantic coast and in Patagonia. The countries represented comprise Mexico, Belize, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Cuba, Venezuela, the Dominican Republic, Colombia, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay. The material landscapes of oceans, lakes and rivers discussed in this volume contribute to a better understanding of the dynamic relationships between humans and their environments over time. By integrating the study of behaviors associated with waterscapes into the interpretations of past and current cultures, this volume introduces new ways of seeing Latin America.
