Shipibo Hunting And The Overkill Hypothesis, Warren M. Hern
Shipibo Hunting And The Overkill Hypothesis, Warren M. Hern
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
The "overkill" hypothesis, as promulgated by Paul Martin and others, is supported by evidence of asynchronous extinction of megafauna and other species in North America associated with the arrival of Pleistocene hunters in the Western Hemisphere. In this essay, further evidence—based on observations made of the response of a small party of Shipibo hunters in the upper Peruvian Amazon—is offered in support of the hypothesis. These observations were made during an exploratory tripinto the headwaters of a remote Amazonian tributary, a pristine area not occupied by human beings that was plentiful with wildlife. The Shipibo aggressively took the opportunity to …
Did The Kulinas Become The Marubos? A Linguistic And Ethnohistorical Investigation, David W. Fleck
Did The Kulinas Become The Marubos? A Linguistic And Ethnohistorical Investigation, David W. Fleck
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This paper presents the results of a study designed to clear up confusion surrounding the ethnic and linguistic identity of several indigenous groups from western Amazonia that have been denominated “Kulina,” “Marubo,” or variants of these terms. Linguistic analysis revealed unequivocally that the term Kulina has been used to refer to three different languages, two in the Panoan family and one in the Arawan family, and that the term Marubo has been used to refer to two different languages in the Panoan family. To elucidate the ethnohistory of each of these five groups, the usage of the terms Kulina and …
Consuming Culture: Extralocal Exchanges And Kalinago Identity On Dominica, Kathryn A. Hudepohl
Consuming Culture: Extralocal Exchanges And Kalinago Identity On Dominica, Kathryn A. Hudepohl
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
Tourism is a significant global force affecting indigenous residents of numerous destination locales worldwide. This paper considers the effects of tourism on Kalinago ethnicity in the Commonwealth of Dominica. In this particular case, tourist consumption of indigenous handicrafts reinforces Kalinago claims to a distinct ethnic identity. Extralocal exchanges that occur as a result of tourism strengthen identity in part by heightening awareness of the ethnic boundary that differentiates the community from outsiders and by stimulating participation in traditional handicraft production. In addition to tourism, other types ofinteractions with outsiders, such as land boundary disputes and cultural borrowing from other indigenous …

Historical Assessment And Archeological Survey Of 4.9 Miles Of Fm 2092 From Menard To Fivemile Crossing, Menard County, Texas, Jennifer K. Mcwilliams, Douglas K. Boyd, Celine Finney
Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State
This preliminary report describes historical research and an intensive archeological survey conducted for a 4.9-mile-long stretch of FM 2092 in Menard County by Prewitt and Associates, Inc. The work was performed for the Texas Department of Transportation in conjunction with a road improvement project beginning at the eastern Menard city limit and extending eastward to just beyond Fivemile Crossing. Crossing over Pleistocene and Holocene alluvial terraces of the San Saba River, the project area is located in a high-probability area for buried prehistoric sites and has a dynamic history of intensive use since Spanish colonial times. Investigations included geoarcheological mapping, …
The Celtic Legacy Of The Gaita In Galician Music, Xosé Lois Foxo
The Celtic Legacy Of The Gaita In Galician Music, Xosé Lois Foxo
e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies
The paper focuses on the traditional music of Galicia with special emphasis on the gaita, or bagpipe, its persistence throughout the centuries as a symbol for the region, and its strong similarities with the instruments of Celtic regions such as Scotland, Brittany and Ireland. Samples of musical melodies from Galicia are included and compared to these areas, and their similarities are discussed.
Merits And Motivations Of An Ashéninka Leader, Hanne Veber
Merits And Motivations Of An Ashéninka Leader, Hanne Veber
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
Recent approaches to life history studies emphasize the power of biography in processes of social construction, highlighting the individual—storyteller and social being—as creative and created in relation to others. Situated in collective meaning systems and their dynamics, autobiographical narration is transformed into agency as it provides definitions of situations and encodes models for action. This essay discusses alternative interpretations of the autobiographical narrative of an Ashéninka leader, Miguel Camaiteri, in Peru's Upper Amazon, focusing on the exposition of his motivations for becoming an indigenous activist and contemplating the way his self-presentation is contingent upon the political agenda he is pursuing …

The Canela Diaries: Their Nature, Uses, And Future, William H. Crocker
The Canela Diaries: Their Nature, Uses, And Future, William H. Crocker
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
In 1966, three Canela Indians of Brazil started writing diaries about their lives and tribal events for me. Since then, I have collected about 150,000 manuscript pages and 2,000 hours on tape. About twenty-two diarists have contributed through the years, though never more than twelve at once. The Canela diary program grew out of my predilection for a personal approach to field work as well as my preference for qualitative over quantitative research methods. Excerpts from the diaries are included, one set to provide different points of view about a murder and others to show how I have used diarists' …
Anchoring “The Symbolic Economy Of Alterity” With Autobiography, Suzanne Oakdale
Anchoring “The Symbolic Economy Of Alterity” With Autobiography, Suzanne Oakdale
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This essay addresses the usefulness of Eduardo Viveiros de Castro's concept of the "symbolic economy of alterity" for understanding the subjectively meaningful historical details of individual lives. My focus is the autobiographical narratives of two Kayabi men from central Brazil whose lives have spanned the twentieth century. Their accounts show that these men do, in fact, speak of identity, with kin as being fashioned gradually out from alterity, in keeping with Viveiros de Castro's model. However, this process, when seen over a significant span of time, is highly reversible, causing others and selves to become very ambiguous figures with respect …
A Yaminahua Autobiographical Song: Caqui Caqui, Pierre Deleage
A Yaminahua Autobiographical Song: Caqui Caqui, Pierre Deleage
Tipití: Journal of the Society for the Anthropology of Lowland South America
This essay proposes a theoretical framework of the relationship between autobiography and tradition. In support of this framework, I present a transcription and translation of an autobiographical song recorded among the Yaminahua (in the Western Amazon of Peru). My account of this song allows me to define an original discursive genre: the traditional autobiography. Two contradictory features characterize this genre. On the one hand, it is autobiographical because it makes reference to the personal life of the speaker. On the other hand, it is traditional in the sense that it is inherited from another speaker and faithfully reproduced. I explore …
Generational Transition Of Subsistence Fishing Practices In The Pacific Community Of Venado Island, Costa Rica, Maria D. Venegas
Generational Transition Of Subsistence Fishing Practices In The Pacific Community Of Venado Island, Costa Rica, Maria D. Venegas
McNair Scholars Research Journal
The goal of this ethnographic study is to document the way that tourism has affected the subsistence fishing activities on the island of Venado, Costa Rica. A key question is how tourism has forced the residents of this fishing community to make choices between a traditional economy and the need to survive in an expanding global market of ecological tourism. The method of research is ethnographic. The goal is to portray cultural issues through the life of the islanders. I hope that this research will create a better understanding of the cultural impact of global change on the people of …
Analysis Of A Celtiberian Protective Paste And Its Possible Use By Arevaci Warriors, Jesús Martín-Gil, Gonzalo Palacios-Leblé, Pablo Matin Ramos, Francisco J. Martín-Gil
Analysis Of A Celtiberian Protective Paste And Its Possible Use By Arevaci Warriors, Jesús Martín-Gil, Gonzalo Palacios-Leblé, Pablo Matin Ramos, Francisco J. Martín-Gil
e-Keltoi: Journal of Interdisciplinary Celtic Studies
This article presents an infrared spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction analysis of residue adhering to a Celtiberian pottery sherd of late Iron Age date from the Arevacian site of Cerro del Castillo, in Ayllón (Segovia, Spain). This residue may be a paste used since antiquity for protective aims. Orange-sepia in colour, made from crushed bones and glue, the paste was used by Greeks and Romans and later in the construction of the cathedrals and monasteries of Europe to confer a warm colour to the stone and to protect it against environmental deterioration. In this article we also suggest a possible ritual …
