Theme Details
\nThis theme and its sessions aim to showcase some best examples of mutual support integrating archaeology and various modes of remembering history in different cultures, whether oral traditions, rock-art, early and difficult written records, or other records not usually considered “writing”. We look for ways each source of information can supplement the other and make the other more precise. One aim is to push back the boundaries between what we consider “pre-history” and “history”, to expand the domain of what we consider at least moderately reliable history.<\/p>\n
We seek the best examples where we can affirm some reliability of these various historical traditions, and the links between them and archaeology. But we do not assume that any particular “reader” knows how to read any of them perfectly, nor that any particular “reading” of them is true, just as we do not assume that any particular “reading” of archaeological finds is true. Rather, these sessions aim to find the best matches of oral traditions or other ways of remembering with archaeology, by learning how to read each of them better. We also aim to develop a more sophisticated and explicit toolkit for carefully handling such varied types of social memory.<\/p>\n
These sessions will manifest respect for various traditions and peoples in the present and seek many voices now. We assume these are desirable goals that do not need discussion, and focus instead on the content of what is remembered, and on the means of strengthening our understanding of the various traditions of social and individual memory.<\/p>\n

Often regarded as pictorial, the linearly read codices can be minimally read as particular written languages. This may also be true, more than we have known, of the glyphic elements in the more geographical Mapas and Lienzos, and in Aztec documents. These histories and geographies stretch from north of Mexico City to the Pacific coast of Oaxaca, and substantial histories begin at least before 900. A major purpose of this session is to make it clear just how reliable they are, and as much as possible, specific implications they have for doing archaeology.<\/p>\n

When we learn how to “read” or interpret oral traditions in the light of the cultures which created them, and to “read” the testimony of archaeology, there is much more consistency between these two kinds of information. Learning how to “read” oral traditions also in the best cases leads to finding mutual supports among them, strengthening the case for the validity of each. This session focuses on O’odham, Hopi, and Zuni oral traditions, along with those of some of their neighbors, and on the archaeological Hohokam, Hopi, and Zuni and some of their neighbours.<\/p>\n

\nThe Distribution of Traditional Narratives can be studied on a continental scale. In some cases, entire tales are shared between distinct peoples, which must imply common inheritance or borrowing. When only motifs are shared, explanations are more difficult. But multivariate analysis of the distributions of hundreds of motifs can be a basis for drawing some conclusions. We compare hypotheses derived in this way with results from other fields such as linguistics, anthropology, and biogeography.<\/p>\n

\nWith ancient written records, there are of course multiple problems of interpretation in cultures foreign to us. This session presents successes and problems in two parts of the world, with particular emphasis on the level of detail which can and cannot be filled in, and questions of reliability of interpretation. The goal is to be able to use more of the information which has been preserved down to our times, to recover parts of history.<\/p>\n

\nThough relatively less studied, there are numerous sources for history of the Andes independent of the Inka capital in Cuzco. Our goal is to make some progress in linking or validating parts of these sources. Materials include parts of Blas Valera’s work, Montesinos book II (source possibly from Quito), and various “provincial” documents. Chanka history is still in archives. There are continuing discoveries in coastal archaeology such as the Moche which can be linked with records from early chroniclers.<\/p>\n
