Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods

Contemporary Anthropology: Archaeological Fieldwork and Methods brings together archival and textual material relating to archaeological excavations, methods, and practices done in the late 20th century to present day. It provides insights into the lives, cultures, and societies of ancient and not-so-distant civilizations through the analysis of material remains and artifacts from the past. This collection allows researchers and students to use archival material and published works to better understand, analyse, and critique archaeological research.

 

Featured in this collection is the The Cusichaca Trust Archive sourced from the Senate House Library, University of London. Led by archaeologist Ann Kendall, the Trust did numerous excavations in the South-Central Andes from 1980s-2010s. The archaeology, archaeobotany and ethnohistorical work focused on human occupation of the area from the late first millennium BC, through Inca expansion and into the Spanish Colonial period.

Patacancha project materials (1987-1997)

Patacancha project materials (1987-1997)

This is the second major project undertaken by the Cusichaca Trust. The main achievement was the rehabilitation of the 6 km-long Pumamarca canal, an original pre-Inca structure extended during the Inca period, along with the restoration of agricultural terracing in the surrounding valley. Around this canal and terrace restoration centrepiece, other components of a wider rural development project were designed, which addressed the many other needs of farming communities in the valley. There was a significant archaeological component to the work in the Patacancha valley, especially at the pre-Inca and Inca sites at Pumamarca and around the impressive promontory site of Hatun Aya Orqo.

Ayacucho and Apurimac project materials (1997-2013)

Ayacucho and Apurimac project materials (1997-2013)

Is the last major project undertaken by the Cusichaca Archaeological Project (CAP) on the remote Apurimac and Ayacucho areas to the north-west of Cuzco, some of the poorest parts of Peru and badly affected by the activities of the ‘Shining Path’ in the 1980s and early 90s. This project focused on health and nutrition, conservation of the environment, agricultural extension and the establishment of a series of skills centers, including carpentry and blacksmith’s workshops and horticultural centers. Increasing agricultural production required major works to restore pre-Hispanic irrigation canals and terrace systems.
