This book was released on 2016-11-11 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Jicaque (Torrupan) Indians of Honduras As a result of this confusion specific literature con cerning the original inhabitants of the north coast of Honduras from Guatemala to the Rio Plantain is practically non-existant. This lack creates an im mense hiatus in the ethnology of Central American tribes, and makes it extremely difficult to establish many details concerning the ancient culture of the Jicaque proper, who call themselves Torrupan. The expedition to Honduras in 1937 - 1938 under the auspices of the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, contemplated an ethnological and zoological survey of that country, among the Sumu, Paya, Miskito, and Torrupan groups. The present monograph is a report of four months' investigation among the Hispanicized Jicaques of Yoro, and two among the primitive Jicaques in the Montana de la Flor. In addition to the ethnological collections made and to the series of live - masks procured, all of which are deposited in the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, an exhaustive ethmo botanical collection made by Christine Inez von Hagen forms a comprehensive basis for the study of the material culture of the Jicaque (torrupan).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Houses in a Landscape, Julia A. Hendon examines the connections between social identity and social memory using archaeological research on indigenous societies that existed more than one thousand years ago in what is now Honduras. While these societies left behind monumental buildings, the remains of their dead, remnants of their daily life, intricate works of art, and fine examples of craftsmanship such as pottery and stone tools, they left only a small body of written records. Despite this paucity of written information, Hendon contends that an archaeological study of memory in such societies is possible and worthwhile. It is possible because memory is not just a faculty of the individual mind operating in isolation, but a social process embedded in the materiality of human existence. Intimately bound up in the relations people develop with one another and with the world around them through what they do, where and how they do it, and with whom or what, memory leaves material traces. Hendon conducted research on three contemporaneous Native American civilizations that flourished from the seventh century through the eleventh CE: the Maya kingdom of Copan, the hilltop center of Cerro Palenque, and the dispersed settlement of the Cuyumapa valley. She analyzes domestic life in these societies, from cooking to crafting, as well as public and private ritual events including the ballgame. Combining her findings with a rich body of theory from anthropology, history, and geography, she explores how objects—the things people build, make, use, exchange, and discard—help people remember. In so doing, she demonstrates how everyday life becomes part of the social processes of remembering and forgetting, and how “memory communities” assert connections between the past and the present.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using archaeological case studies from around the world, this volume evaluates the implications of providing alternative interpretations of the past. These cases also examine if multivocality is relevant to local residents and non-Anglo-American archaeologists and if the close examination of alternative interpretations can contribute to a deeper understanding of subjectivity and objectivity of archaeological interpretation.

Book excerpt: "El Dorado. The golden man. Those doughty adventurers who first began to probe the secrets of the New World were fascinated by whispers of treasure beyond belief somewhere in the mountains of Colombia. There, said the native Indians, lived a people "rich in gold" with a chief who once a year as part of a religious ritual covered himself with the precious metal's dust. So began an incredible saga of adventure - Spaniards, Germans, French, British, Dutch and Portuguese sprawled across an almost unknown continent in their search for a phantom. The New World replaced the Old World's mythology of unbounded riches in legendary places in the deserts and cities of the Mediterranean and Asia. From a golden man, El Dorado grew into a city of gold and drew untold numbers to death. It became the metaphor for the unattainable. Sir Walter Raleigh, England's hero, great adventurer and man of letters, died on the block because he, too, caught the fever of El Dorado. He and countless others failed to prove its existence was no legend. But they discovered a continent. Victor von Hagen, himself an explorer and traveller of no mean accomplishment, has followed their footsteps through jungles and country where disease and other hazards turned death into monotonous tragedy. He has no need to dramatise the people and events he has documented; his approach to the vast tapestry and his presentation results in the greatest real-life adventure stories yet told. The myths of the heroics of the questers for the Golden Fleece and the Holy Grail become minor narratives alongside von Hagen's brilliant and exciting account of the actual events and the men who precipitated them." -- dust jacket.
