"Funerary Practices and Patterns in Ancient South America"
Call for Papers
Red Europea de Estudios Amerindios in Louvain-La-Neuve, Belgium.
The number of burials excavated in South America has increased
exponentially over the past 20 years. The diversity of finds has
permitted major advances in all fields concerned with the study of
tombs and human remains, from palaeopathology to social organisation
and economics, as well as development of stylistic and temporal
chronologies. The aim of this symposium is to unite all the
investigators at the congress who are working in any area of funerary
archaeology and its allied fields. Both theoretical and practical
aspects will be addressed, ranging from peri-mortem treatment of the
body to tomb/cemetery organisation and ascertaining the nature of
relationships that existed between the realms of the living and the
deceased in South American societies. We encourage the presentation of
unedited work, works in progress and any original studies, be they
methodological or theoretical.
If you are interested, please submit a tentative paper title and short
abstract as soon as possible for inclusion in this symposium. In
addition, please forward this to any other scholar who may be
interested.

"From Site Q to Sak Nikte':
Chronicle of a 40-year Classic Maya Mystery"
About 40 years ago some exquisite Classic Maya art pieces flooded the
antiquities market from an unknown site, known first as "Site Q" and
later by its ancient name of Sak Nikte'. A decades-long search for its
location finally came to an end in 2005 when Yale Assistant Professor
of Anthropology Marcello Canuto discovered a perfectly preserved
monument with more than 140 carved hieroglyphs identical to those of
Site Q. Join us to find out how this mystery was solved!

"The Ancient Maya: What We Thought We Knew, What We Think We Know, and
What We Would Like to Know"
Skip Messenger is Professor of Anthropology, Hamline University. His
presentation this month will be part of the Archaeological Institute
of America (AIA) lecture series. The local AIA Twin Cities chapter
currently has a "bare-bones" website up at: http://www.macalester.edu/aia-mn
Our perceptions of the nature of ancient Maya civilization have
undergone dramatic transformations since they were first brought to
our attention. More recently the ancient Maya have been represented
with yet another "twist" as seen in movies like Mel Gibson's,
Apocalypto. Following a long tradition of research and publishing
articles on the ancient Maya, the August 2007 National Geographic had
yet another lead cover article featuring them. What is the current
"conventional wisdom" about the ancient Maya? This illustrated talk
will attempt to bring us "up to speed" as far as what we understand
what that ancient Maya civilization may have been like.

"The 'Deep Structure' of Early Archaic Rock Art: Human Universals" -
Ekkehart Malotki
On a global scale, all earliest making traditions consist of abstract-
geometric motifs and non-figurative patterns, regardless of whether
they occur on portable objects or on rock surfaces. This is also true
for the American West which houses a wealth of non-representational
images, both painted and engraved. To shed light on this most
enigmatic
yet fascinating imagery, which to many rock art researchers is of
little interest since it seems to offer no insights into the minds of
its creators, Professor Malotki resorts to human universals and
cutting-edge ideas gleaned from evolutionary psychology. In addition
to presenting novel ideas, he hopes to heighten awe and respect for
the area's rock art legacy through striking photographs.

Friends of Tijeras Pueblo Lecture
"Archaeology in the Mesa Verde Region"
David Grant Noble
The Mesa Verdean culture represents more than cliff dwellings. It
extended over a vast region from the Chimney Rock area in the east to
the Colorado River in the west. Its large open-site villages in the
Great Sage Plain near Cortez, Colorado, have been the focus of much
recent research. David Noble will discuss some fresh perspectives on
Mesa Verdean archaeology -from recent research on the large sites to
newly-discovered reservoirs on Mesa Verde to the influence of Chaco to
evidence of violence and conflict.

Dr. Lynda McNeil
Within the context of ongoing debates about the relationship between

archaeological, and rock art evidence to corroborate Hopi oral
accounts of migration and ceremonial traditions "from the south". The
wealth of evidence will be reviewed showing how Basketmaker II to
Fremont settlement locations, design, and rock art are logistically,
thematically and uniquely related to Hopi Powamu ceremony, artifacts,
and ideology,

"The Archaeology of Northwest Nicaragua"
Clifford T. Brown, PhD.
The archaeology of northwest Nicaragua is very poorly known, and yet
it is
important to the understanding of the prehistory of both Mesoamerica
and
Lower Central America. This appears to be a frontier area in which
complex,
dynamic social processes such as trade and migration dominated the
cultural
history. At the time of the Spanish Conquest, the region was inhabited
by a
mixture of peoples who had immigrated to Nicaragua from Mesoamerica,
including the Chorotega, the Subtiaba, and the Nahua. The Chorotega
probably
moved into Nicaragua during the Mesoamerican Classic period.
They spoke an Otomanguean language related to Chiapanec. The Subtiaba
also
spoke a Otomanguean language, but one related to Tlapanec, which is
now
spoken in Guerrero, Mexico. The Nahua spoke a Uto-Aztecan language
related
to Aztec. They were later migrants to the area whose incursion was
probably
related to the Aztec political and economic expansion. I will focus
my
discussion on the Department of Chinandega, discussing the natural
setting,
ethnohistory, and archaeology. This area is little known
archaeologically,
but has tremendous potential.

Old Pueblo Archaeology Center's Third Thursdays Lecture
"Clovis, Climate, and Comets in the San Pedro Valley, 13,000 Years
Ago"
Archaeologist Jesse Ballenger
The San Pedro River Basin preserves at least six Clovis-mammoth sites
between Naco and Sierra Vista. If legitimate
human-mammoth associations in North America number only 15, then this
small stretch of land is indeed a remarkable circumstance. The
question
that eludes us is whether this record is an accurate reflection of
Clovis
hunting, or a bizarre phenomenon of preservation and discovery.
Advocates of the "Pleistocene overkill" model cite the San Pedro Basin
as
proof that Clovis hunters not only specialized in the pursuit of
large
game, but also hunted animals to extinction. Others interpret the
paleoenvironmental and archaeological record of the San Pedro as
evidence
that both climate and human predation were responsible for the demise
of
Pleistocene animals. These theories are complicated by themselves,
but
recent studies have introduced the possibility that an
extraterrestrial
catastrophe is responsible for the ecological dynamics that led to
both
Pleistocene extinction and the end of the Clovis culture. This
presentation will review renewed archaeological research in the San
Pedro
Basin in light of these issues.

"An Early Archaic and Late Prehistoric
Residential Site from the Coast of Camp Pendleton: A Perspective
through Spatial Analysis"
Mark Becker
Coastal southern California is the subject of an archaeology debate.
Was it the coast or the inland that was intensely occupied during the
Late Prehistoric Period? Answering this question partly depends on our
understanding of prehistoric mobility, how to properly interpret
different types of large sites, and even how to infer what a
residential site should look like. Dr. Becker will present the results
of recent excavation efforts at SDI-10723 that help evaluate this
question, and associated issues, by first deconstructing common
assumptions, and then reconstructing the data through new look at the
material remains along with a spatially oriented perspective.
