Ceramics, Colonialism, and Household Practice at Zuni Pueblo, New Mexico, A.D. 1300-1900

在国家科学基金会的支持下，芭芭拉米尔斯博士和她的同事将进行为期一年的实验室分析，以调查欧洲殖民在祖尼普韦布洛的影响。 祖尼是16世纪西班牙入侵期间到达的第一个普韦布洛地区，是位于殖民主义前沿的美洲土著社区的一个很好的例子。与其他普韦布洛地区一样，人口减少、定居点合并、宗教压迫、经济压迫以及新食品和新技术的采用都发生在祖尼，而这些都是在西班牙、墨西哥和美国的统治下发生的。虽然祖尼地区具有从考古学角度看待殖民主义进程的巨大潜力，但过去的工作是在现代系统的挖掘和分析方法之前进行的。最近由祖尼的普韦布洛人进行的一项挖掘项目导致了对祖尼普韦布洛人接触时期之一的材料的首次系统收集-祖尼普韦布洛人本身。祖尼普韦布洛（Halona：wa）自13世纪末以来一直被占领，它为研究美洲原住民社区的殖民主义进程提供了独特的背景。该项目将支持对大量陶瓷收藏品的分析，为植物分析提供补充资金，并为动物和植物分析师前往亚利桑那州参加该项目的高级研讨会提供旅费。米尔斯博士的研究将包括对祖尼普韦布洛六个多世纪以来的陶瓷组合的分析，重点是以下研究目标：（1）为该项目建立一个基线年表;（2）调查祖尼饮食和烹饪的变化时间和速度;（3）评估殖民主义对家庭劳动组织的影响;（4）探讨祖尼身份是如何通过物质文化建构和维持的。在一年多的时间里，将进行密集的陶瓷分析，包括生产技术分析、容器形式变化分析、食品残留物化学分析和设计分析。 陶瓷数据将与花粉，宏观植物学和动物群分析的结果进行比较，以全面分析饮食和食物准备如何随着时间的推移而变化。 这项研究之所以重要，有几个原因。 它将为祖尼人提供只有通过考古研究才能获得的关于他们过去的信息。 它还将提供重要的见解，了解接触中的文化如何相互作用，包括饮食和烹饪，劳动和身份的变化。

With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Barbara Mills and her colleagues will conduct one year of laboratory analyses to investigate the effects of European colonization at Zuni Pueblo. Zuni was the first Pueblo area reached during the Spanish entradas of the 16th century and is an excellent example of a Native American community lying on the frontier of colonialism. Like other Pueblo areas, population decline, settlement coalescence, religious repression, economic oppression, and the adoption of new foods and technologies all took place at Zuni while under Spanish, Mexican, and American governance. Although the Zuni area has enormous potential for looking at the processes of colonialism from an archaeological perspective, past work was conducted prior to modern systematic methods of excavations and analysis. A recent excavation project conducted by the Pueblo of Zuni has resulted in the first systematic collection of materials from one of the contact period Zuni Pueblos - Zuni Pueblo itself. Zuni Pueblo (Halona:wa) has been continuously occupied since the late 13th century and it provides a unique context to investigate the processes of colonialism in a Native American community. This project will support analyses of the large collection of ceramics, supplemental funding for botanical analyses, and travel for the faunal and botanical analysts to come to Arizona to participate in an advanced seminar on the project. Dr. Mills's research will include the analysis of ceramic assemblages from over six centuries of occupation at Zuni Pueblo, focusing on the following research objectives: (1) establishing a baseline chronology for the project; (2) investigating the timing and rate of change in Zuni diet and cuisine; (3) evaluating the impact of colonialism on the organization of household labor; and (4) exploring how Zuni identity was constructed and maintained through material culture. Intensive ceramic analyses will be conducted over one year, including analyses of production technology, changes in vessel forms, chemical analyses of food residues, and design analyses. The ceramic data will be compared to the results of pollen, macrobotanical, and faunal analyses for a comprehensive analysis of how diet and food preparation changed through time. This research is important for several reasons. It will provide the Zuni people with information about their past that is only accessible through archaeological research. It will also provide important insights into how cultures in contact interact, including changes in diet and cuisine, labor, and identity.
