Doctoral Dissertation Improvement Grant: Communities of Production and Consumption During the Late Formative, Taraco Peninsula, Bolivia

安德鲁·P·罗迪克在克莉丝汀·哈斯托夫博士的指导下，将分析从玻利维亚的喀喀湖盆地南部的三个形成期晚期（公元前200年-公元450年）遗址出土的考古陶瓷制品。 这一时期是重要的，因为它先于Tiwanaku早期国家（公元450 - 1000年）的出现。 目前，我们对形成期晚期前蒂瓦纳库时期的认识受到缺乏对陶瓷制品的详细研究的阻碍，这些陶瓷制品作为耐用的文物，既可以提供年表，也可以了解社会政治互动。 在过去的三年里，罗迪克作为塔拉科考古项目（TAP，由克莉丝汀哈斯托夫博士和马修班迪博士指导）的一部分，参与了塔拉科半岛上三个形成晚期遗址的挖掘，并对陶瓷文物进行了详细的分析。 塔拉科半岛是一个理想的地方，研究陶瓷生产和消费，由于在过去的高人口密度和最近的历史考古研究。罗迪克将系统地追踪三个当代社区的陶瓷变化，以便更好地了解南美洲最早的国家之一出现之前的社会，政治和经济动态。陶器的变化源于陶艺家的选择，包括随着时间的推移偏好的变化。 陶工在生产者社区一级利用当地资源作出的决定反映在成品的属性中。因此，陶器提供了一个很好的物质基础，了解如何形成后期的政治人民被改造成蒂瓦纳库国家的人。 通过跟踪陶器属性的变化，以及粘土的来源（通过岩相学和化学分析），罗迪克将跟踪与陶器生产有关的社会互动的变化。 通过跟踪陶器文物的空间变异性（通过分析出土的背景），罗迪克将调查在家庭环境和日益复杂的公共仪式中晚期形成陶器的传播和使用。 对陶瓷生产的研究将是该地区的第一次，并将有助于对次级生产线证据的研究。 该项目还将有助于继续研究史前社区复杂的社会动态，特别是陶器生产和消费共同参与的变化如何有助于陶器的成分和风格变化。罗迪克将与玻利维亚学者和当地社区密切合作。数据将通过开源数据库与当地和国际学者共享，鼓励有关后期形成期的沟通。 所有调查结果将提交玻利维亚各机构，综合报告将提交地方、区域和国家会议和学术出版物。所有提交的论文都将在技术咨询方案项目网站上公布（http：//andean.kulture.org/tap/）。研究完成后，社区博物馆将在摄影展上展示这项关于古代陶器生产和消费的研究。将向当地社区学校提供现场挖掘和实验室工作的图尔斯参观。在美国，罗迪克将为当地湾区的学校提供外展演讲。

Andrew P. Roddick, with guidance provided by Dr. Christine Hastorf, will analyze archaeological ceramic artifacts excavated from three Late Formative Period (200 BC- AD 450) sites from the southern Lake Titicaca Basin, Bolivia. This period is important as it precedes the appearance of the early state of Tiwanaku (AD 450 - 1000). Currently our knowledge of the Late Formative pre-Tiwanaku period is hindered by lack of detailed research on the ceramic artifacts, which as durable artifacts inform both chronology and understanding of sociopolitical interaction. For the past three years Roddick, as a part of the Taraco Archaeological Project (TAP, directed by Dr. Christine Hastorf and Dr. Mathew Bandy) has participated in the excavation of three Late Formative sites on the Taraco Peninsula, and has conducted detailed analysis of the ceramic artifacts. The Taraco Peninsula is an ideal local to study ceramic production and consumption due to the high population density in the past and the recent history of archaeological research. Roddick will systematically trace ceramic variability from the three contemporary communities in order to better understand the social, political and economic dynamics prior to the emergence of one of the earliest states in South America.Variation in pottery stems from the choices made by potters, including changes in preferences over time. Decisions made by potters at the producer community level, drawing on local resources, are reflected in attributes of the finished products. As such pottery provides an excellent material basis for understanding how the people of Late Formative polities were transformed into the people of the Tiwanaku state. By tracking variability in pottery attributes, and the sources of clays exploited (through petrographic and chemical analysis), Roddick will track the variation in social interaction related to pottery production. By tracking spatial variability in the pottery artifacts (through analysis of excavated contexts), Roddick will investigate the spread and use of Late Formative pottery in both household settings and in increasingly complex public ceremonialism. The research on ceramic production will be the first of its kind in the region and will contribute to research on secondary lines of production evidence. This project will also contribute to the continuing scholarship on the complex social dynamics of prehistoric communities, specifically how variation in the co-participation of pottery production and consumption contributes to compositional and stylistic variation in pottery.Roddick will work closely with both Bolivian scholars and local communities. Data will be shared with local and international scholars through an open-source database, encouraging communication regarding the Late Formative Period. All findings will be presented to Bolivian agencies, and syntheses will be presented at local, regional and national meetings and scholarly publications. All presented papers will be presented on the TAP project website (http://andean.kulture.org/tap/). After research completion, the community museum will display this research on ancient pottery production and consumption in photographic displays. Tours, of both site excavations and laboratory work, will be offered to local community schools. Within the U.S., Roddick will offer outreach presentations to local Bay Area schools.
