“…Folklore (and informants' explicit statements during ethnographic interviews) often attribute the splitting of complex households to disputes between HBWs, each seeking advantage for her own children.

“…The analysis of these groups is critical for understanding various aspects of human societies and behavior, including gender relation, division of labor, social inequality, and demography (Netting, 1965(Netting, , 1993Laslett, 1969;Nakane, 1970;Laslett and Wall, 1972;Hammel and Laslett, 1974;Yanagisako, 1979;Hammel, 1980;Wilk, 1983Wilk, , 1989Wilk, , 1991Netting et al, 1984). The archaeological study of households -household archaeology -is a rapidly growing field (Bawden, 1982;Deetz, 1982;Wilk and Rathje, 1982;Manzanilla, 1987;Smith, 1987;Drennan, 1988;Wilk and Ashmore, 1988;Tringham, 1991;Santley and Hirth, 1993;Bermann, 1994).…”

This ethnoarchaeological study at the Q'eqchi' Maya village of Las Pozas, Guatemala, aimed to refine the understanding of the relationship between soil chemical signatures and human activities for archaeological applications. The research involved phosphorus, exchangeable ion (calcium, potassium, magnesium, sodium), and trace element analysis of soils and earth floors extracted by Mehlich II, ammonium acetate, and DTPA chelate solutions, respectively. The results showed high levels of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and pH in food preparation areas, as well as high phosphorus concentrations and low pH in food consumption areas. The traffic areas exhibited low phosphorus and trace element contents, whereas refuse disposal areas were enriched. These results provide important information for the understanding of space use in ancient settlements. ᭧

“…Analysis of such spatial groupings is critical for understanding a wide variety of social phenomena including gender relations, loci and modes of production, social hierarchy and heterarchy, ethnicity, and demography (M.

This broad scope of work, however, depends largely on physical analyses of the data recovered in excavation, whether on the macroscopic or microscopic level.…”

Using in‐field phosphate testing to rapidly identify middens at Piedras Negras, Guatemala

2001

Recent studies have promoted using soil phosphate analysis to detect ancient Maya sites by delimiting areas of occupation based on decomposed organic matter. Refuse associated with human activity increases organic matter around areas of ancient human habitation. Theoretically, the highest concentration of organic matter—detectable by phosphate analysis—should be directly associated with areas of refuse disposal. Thus, the objective of this study is to investigate the potential of phosphate analysis to detect residential middens in Piedras Negras, Guatemala. This paper presents the results of a sensitive, in‐field phosphate analysis method applied as a midden prospection tool in residential areas. Phosphate concentration is correlated with artifact data obtained from a total of 37 test pits excavated in areas of varying phosphate concentration in three residential sites. A positive correlation between phosphate concentration and ceramic density indicates the potential of this method in defining and orienting excavations of residential areas. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
