Doctoral Dissertation Research: Identity and Conquest: Population History of the Chachapoyas from Northern Perú

在简·E博士的指导下，在Buikstra，Kenneth Nystrom先生将完成完成博士论文所需的数据收集。 他的研究涉及从整个北方秘鲁的Chachapoyas地区的几个样本中产生骨骼数据。 随着对查查波亚斯地区的了解和认识的增加，有关该地区居民人口历史的基本问题可以开始得到解决。 由拉古纳德洛斯孔多雷斯的发现引发，这项研究旨在了解后来被称为Chachapoyas的人的成长和发展。 在生物相互作用反映社会相互作用的假设下，骨骼的形态特征可以用来讨论人口结构和文化过程的变化。 群体内异质性的Relethford-Blangero模型量化了来自外部来源的基因流的存在，允许讨论征服的文化和生物后果。 此外，通过纳入民族历史学和考古学数据，将有可能讨论Chachapoyas在被Inka征服之前和之后的身份发展。在更广泛的范围内，人类学的主要目标之一是研究人群如何互动，不仅与其他群体，而且与周围的自然和超自然世界互动。 这项研究涉及的基本概念，在考古记录中的群体身份的表达。 以前的考古学研究集中在物质文物的分布上，以区分不同的文化，并描述群体之间的接触和衔接。 随着从生物考古学的角度研究种族问题的兴趣日益浓厚，有可能对种族的考古学研究进行更细致的讨论。

Under the direction of Dr. Jane E. Buikstra, Mr. Kenneth Nystrom will complete the data collection necessary to finish his doctoral dissertation. His research involves the generation of skeletal data from several samples from throughout the Chachapoyas regions of northern Peru. With the growing exposure and knowledge of the Chachapoyas region, fundamental questions concerning the population history of the inhabitants of the area can begin to be addressed. Sparked by the discovery of the Laguna de los Condores, this research seeks to understand the growth and development of the people that came to be known as the Chachapoyas. Working under the assumption that biological interactions reflect social interactions, morphological characteristics of the skeleton can be used to discuss changes in population structure and cultural processes. The Relethford-Blangero model of within-group heterogeneity quantifies the presence of gene flow from an external source, allowing discussion of cultural and biological consequences of conquest. Further, with the inclusion of both ethnohistorical and archaeological data, it will be possible to discuss the development of Chachapoyas identity, both before and after their subjugation by the Inka.At a broader scale, one of anthropology's primary goals is the study of how groups of people interact, not only with other groups, but also with the natural and supernatural worlds that surround them. This research addresses fundamental concepts concerning the expression of group identity within the archaeological record. Previous archaeological research has concentrated upon the distribution of material artifacts to distinguish between cultures and to characterize the contact and articulation between groups. With the growing interest in pursuing the issue of ethnicity from a bioarchaeological perspective, a more nuanced discussion of the archaeological examination of ethnicity is possible.
