Historical Ecology and Landscape Archaeology in Lowland South America
This edited volume scrutinizes how pre-Columbian human societies have shaped and transformed lowland South America – contributing to biological and landscape diversity. This geographic area has supported human populations since at least the transition from the Pleistocene to Holocene, but the nature and scale of these interactions are matters of debate and their legacy to modern lowland environments is not fully understood. This book brings together works from distinct disciplines, including theoretical and methodological approaches on single case studies or broad regional syntheses, with no chronological constraint. The editors aim to generate a novel contribution reporting the most recen...
Yerba Mate
Like coffee or tea, yerba mate is one of the world's most beloved caffeinated beverages. Once dubbed a "devil's drink" by Spanish missionaries in South America only to be later hailed by capitalists and politicians as "green gold," it has a long and storied history. And no country consumes and celebrates yerba mate quite like Argentina. Yerba Mate is the first book to explore the extraordinary history of this iconic beverage in Argentina from the precolonial period to the present. From yerba mate's Indigenous origins to its ubiquity during the colonial era, from its association with rural people and the poor in the late nineteenth century to its resurgence in the last years of the twentieth century, Julia Sarreal meticulously documents yerba mate's consumption, production, and cultural importance over time. Yerba Mate is the definitive history of this popular beverage and social practice, and it tells a fascinating story about race, culture, and how a drink helped forge the national identity of one of the world's most dynamic countries.

Morfológicas: Um Estudo Etnológico de Padrões Socioterritoriais Entre os Kaingang (Jê) e os Mbya (Tupi-Guarani)
As civilizações indígenas da América do Sul são desconhecidas de grande parte dos atuais habitantes deste continente por várias razões. Os processos coloniais, em diferentes ondas, promoveram (e promovem) epidemias, escravidão, migrações forçadas e esbulho dos territórios ancestrais. Certamente a hecatombe promovida pela invasão europeia tem relação com o desconhecimento sobre a extensão espacial e histórica das civilizações americanas, mas, em se tratando das terras baixas, acresce-se a isso morfologias sociais que, aos olhos de populações habituadas com reis, sacerdotes, presidentes e ministros, pareciam (e parecem) atomizadas. A absoluta originalidade das formas de or...
Arqueología
El Comité Organizador del 56º Congreso Internacional de Americanistas (ICA) publica las actas del encuentro celebrado en la Universidad de Salamanca el 15 al 20 de julio de 2018. Bajo el lema «Universalidad y particularismo en las Américas», reflexionó sobre la dialéctica entre la universalidad y los particularismos en la producción de conocimiento, un diálogo en el que la necesidad de conocer los particularismos de los fenómenos sociales, políticos, artísticos y culturales obliga a formular nuevas hipótesis que enriquecen y replantean las grandes teorías generales de las ciencias y las humanidades. El carácter interdisciplinario e inclusivo que ha caracterizado al ICA desde s...
Filhos de Ñanderu caminham para Karaí
Esta obra lança um novo olhar sobre a saga da transmigração dos Guaranis missioneiros para os campos do continente de Rio Grande de São Pedro, durante a segunda metade do século XVIII, em decorrência do Tratado de Madrid (1750). O autor busca identificar em documentos coloniais, indícios das motivações e intenções para produzir uma narrativa historiográfica que considera o protagonismo indígena como determinante para os fatos históricos. Pela abordagem utilizada, os aldeamentos indígenas resultantes dos eventos geopolíticos do período são considerados como formas de apropriação da paisagem, decorrentes do contato entre os mundos: o ibérico e o indígena.
Interdisciplinaridade nas Ciências Humanas
O I Encontro Internacional de Pesquisa em Ciências Humanas teve como objetivo principal proporcionar um espaço de debate e intercâmbio de conhecimento gerado por pesquisas voltadas a interdisciplinaridade nas áreas de Ciências Humanas e Sociais. O evento parte do princípio da ausência de discussões e espaço de contato que permitam a troca produtiva de conhecimento entre profissionais da ciências humanas. Entendemos como propósito do evento agregar, incluir toda e qualquer forma de contribuição científica e acadêmica no âmbito das ciências humanas, mais precisamente no campo interdisciplinar, pretendendo ampliar a análise de cada elemento individual e buscar o parecer especifico de sua especialidade.
The Archaeologist's Laboratory
This second edition of the classic textbook, The Archaeologist’s Laboratory, is a substantially revised work that offers updated information on the archaeological work that follows fieldwork, such as the processing and analysis of artifacts and other evidence. An overarching theme of this edition is the quality and validity of archaeological arguments and the data we use to support them. The book introduces many of the laboratory activities that archaeologists carry out and the ways we can present research results, including graphs and artifact illustrations. Part I introduces general topics concerning measurement error, data quality, research design, typology, probability and databases. I...
