“…Mestizaje addresses the mixing of peoples in colonial encounter, but has been criticised for failing sufficiently to acknowledge indigenous resistance and identity (Liebmann 2013 , p. 29; cf. Sauer 2015 ). Hybridity is advocated partly for its lack of such baggage, partly for its stress on reworking rather than simple recombination of ‘distinct cultural forms’ and partly for an emphasis on issues of power, inequity and resistance (Liebmann 2013 , pp.…”

Between the Vinča and Linearbandkeramik Worlds: The Diversity of Practices and Identities in the 54th–53rd Centuries cal BC in Southwest Hungary and Beyond

Perhaps nowhere in European prehistory does the idea of clearly-defined cultural boundaries remain more current than in the initial Neolithic, where the southeast–northwest trend of the spread of farming crosses what is perceived as a sharp divide between the Balkans and central Europe. This corresponds to a distinction between the Vinča culture package, named for a classic site in Serbia, with its characteristic pottery assemblage and absence of longhouses, and the Linearbandkeramik (LBK), with equally diagnostic but different pottery, and its apparently culturally-diagnostic longhouses, extending in a more northerly belt through central Europe westward to the Dutch coast. In this paper we question the concept of such a clear division through a presentation of new data from the site of Szederkény-Kukorica-dűlő. A large settlement in southeast Transdanubia, Hungary, excavated in advance of road construction, Szederkény is notable for its combination of pottery styles, variously including Vinča A, Ražište and LBK, and longhouses of a kind otherwise familiar from the LBK world. Formal modelling of its date establishes that the site probably began in the later 54th century cal BC, lasting until the first decades of the 52nd century cal BC. Occupation, featuring longhouses, pits and graves, probably began at the same time in the eastern and western parts of the settlement, starting a decade or two later in the central part; the western part was probably the last to be abandoned. Vinča pottery is predominantly associated with the eastern and central parts of the site, and Ražište pottery with the west. Formal modelling of the early history of longhouses in the LBK world suggests their emergence in the Formative LBK of Transdanubia c. 5500 cal BC followed by rapid dispersal in the middle of the 54th century cal BC, associated with the ‘earliest’ (älteste) LBK. The adoption of longhouses at Szederkény thus appears to come a few generations after the start of this ‘diaspora’. Rather than explaining the mixture of things, practices and perhaps people at Szederkény with reference to problematic notions such as hybridity, we propose instead a more fluid and varied vocabulary, encompassing combination and amalgamation, relationships and performance in the flow of social life, and networks; this makes greater allowance for diversity and interleaving in a context of rapid change.

“…The southern Chile Late Ceramic Period groups faced the arrival of Europeans around AD 1550; the collective but vague name they used to refer to themselves was “ reche ”: “the authentic people” (Adán 2014; Boccara 2007; Sauer 2015). After 50 years of occupation of this area, Europeans were permanently driven out to the north of the Biobio-Laja rivers.…”

Public architecture emerged in conjunction with the development of early complex societies and is therefore a key feature for understanding them. Anthropogenic mounds and platforms in southern Chile dated to the Late Ceramic Period (AD 1000–1550), and historic indigenous inhabitants (AD 1550–present) are the southernmost manifestation of public architecture in the Americas. We report the results from excavation of an architectural complex on Mocha Island that covers an area of ~9.2 ha and a volume of ~43,000 m3. This paper describes its construction dynamics, placing its origin at around AD 1000, a moment of significant sociopolitical and economic changes in southern Chile. We then associate information obtained from this site with similar complexes on mainland southern Chile to locate this phenomenon within a more regional comparative context.

Recibido: 1 de julio de 2016 / Aceptado: 1 de marzo de 2017 Resumen. La práctica alfarera mapuche se caracteriza por su alto dinamismo, un fenómeno que ha caracterizado los sistemas de fabricación en la zona desde el siglo XIX. Siguiendo las propuestas de Pierre Lemonnier sobre la representación tecnológica de las estructuras que interactúan en los sistemas técnicos, se analiza el dinamismo documentado en las prácticas técnicas alfareras en tres niveles: la escala interna, como transversalidad tecnológica y en su vinculación con las dinámicas sociales. Como conclusión se plantea que este dinamismo está reflejado de múltiples formas y en diferentes ámbitos, siendo una característica intrínseca del propio grupo que, por ello, afecta a todas las esferas de la sociedad. Palabras clave: Prácticas técnicas; cerámica; mapuche; dinamismo social.[en] Pottery, Technical Practices and Mapuche Social Structure: a Case of Cultural Dynamism Abstract. Mapuche pottery practice is defined by its high dynamism, typical of these manufacturing systems since the 19 th century. The model proposed by Pierre Lemonnier for the technologicalrepresentation of the structures interacting in technical systems can be useful to analyse the dynamism documented in pottery technical practices. Thus, he describes three levels: the internal scale, as a technological transversal entity, and connected to social dynamics. In this case, it may be concluded that this dynamism is materialised in multiple forms and in different areas, constituting a defining element of the group which affects the complete social world.

Planteamiento inicialSin entrar en discusiones sumamente teóri-cas, pensamos que la mejor manera de definir aquella práctica científica que entendemos como etnoarqueológica es desde el trabajo de campo y del enfoque adoptado en la lectura de los resultados obtenidos. Más allá de definiciones estériles que solo pueden llevar a la fragmentación -aún más, si cabe-de las ciencias sociales, creemos que la manera en la que nos posicionamos en nuestros trabajos podría definirse como etnoarqueología, pero también como arqueología, etnografía, sociología, et-
