Hey guys (Robert and Tanya... and whoever else is interested),

I just stumbled my way into the Yahoo Groups page... I've been reading
off the Google board since I signed up for PAP.  I am so happy to hear
that other people on the project are also interested in pre-Columbian
art!!

This Fall, I will be a second year grad student at Vanderbilt and am
currently in search of the perfect dissertation topic (by perfect... I
mean a topic that will hold my attention and engage me for the next
5-7 years... aah!).  I have a very wide variety of interests and
experience... but, I think analysis of material culture is ultimately
where my heart lies.  I am really interested in how art, technology,
and culture inform one another... and how social aspects of society
can be reconstructed through analysis of culturally manufactured
materials (i.e., ceramics, textiles, beads, metal-working... you name
it!) (think... Heather Lechtman and Dorothy Hosler).  I have a lot of
experience with ceramics and ceramic materials analysis through my
undergraduate adviser (Maria Masucci) and textile analysis via my
undergraduate honors thesis.

I love Ecuador and have worked primarily on the coast near the Santa
Elena Peninsula... so this summer will be a taste of the highlands for
me.  I know that PAP is not focused on these artistic or technological
aspects of culture... but, I have other interests as well that are
suited for this project, such as the cultural cultural constructions
of landscape and the socialization of people through their environment
(ala Jerry Moore). This summer will definitely serve as an opportunity
to do some soul searching in the high Andes!

But, back to my initial point about art (colonial or prehispanic), I
started to make a list of museums in Quito that I wanted to try to get
to while in Ecuador this summer (definitely a trip to the Banco
Central!)... in hopes to identify a class of artifacts that interest
me and beg for systematic analysis.  I would love to have some travel
buddies!!  Can't wait to meet you both and learn more about your
experiences and expertise.  Talk to you more soon.

Take care,
Katie

Hi Tanya,

I'm terribly sorry for not getting back to you
earlier, I rarely check my yahoo account and with the
vast amount of junk mail that I receive, it is a
surprise I found this email at all.

Anyhow, I'm excited that there is someone else
interested in the aesthetic value of excavated
findings. Although I must warn you, my knowledge of
ancient Ecuadorian subject matter is just developing;
my focus in pre-columbian studies is Maya art and I am
only now ellaborating my repertoire of ancient South
American art. That said, we can embark on this journey
together!

When do you arrive by the way? I arrive to Quito on
July 2nd.

Until our next correspondence,

Robert

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the e-mail. I was a bit weary about the
site and its iconographical value, thanks for giving
me the heads up. I am not thinking of either graduate
work or a senior thesis, this is in regards to the
archaeology field school program that is offered
through UCLA.

The colonial artwork does sound intriguing, but now
that you've mentioned that study on ceramics of the
region is limited, I would much rather offer my
attention to that.

You've mentioned that Tamara Bray has done some work
on this topic in English. Are there any Spanish texts
that I should consider as well? I happen to speak the
language.

Since you say that this information would be helpful
to the project, and that Pambamarca's artifact
collection is sparse, would it be easy to obtain the
information already documented on the materials
excavated?

Thanks,

Robert

Hi Chad,

Thanks for the e-mail. I was a bit weary about the
site and its iconographical value, thanks for giving
me the heads up. I am not thinking of either graduate
work or a senior thesis, this is in regards to the
archaeology field school program that is offered
through UCLA.

The colonial artwork does sound intriguing, but now
that you've mentioned that study on ceramics of the
region is limited, I would much rather offer my
attention to that.

You've mentioned that Tamara Bray has done some work
on this topic in English. Are there any Spanish texts
that I should consider as well? I happen to speak the
language.

Since you say that this information would be helpful
to the project, and that Pambamarca's artifact
collection is sparse, would it be easy to obtain the
information already documented on the materials
excavated?

Thanks,

Robert

Hello Robert,

I think I can help with your second round of questions-- thanks to Amber for
getting the ball rolling.  Are you thinking about a senior thesis or maybe
graduate work? That would obvious change the type of material you would want to
look at...

First and foremost it's important that you know that that we have minimal (very
minimal) iconography in the pre-Columbian material that we are recovering
through our own fieldwork.  It would be a mistake if you imagined otherwise and
came down only to find that our artifact collections are relatively bland
(compared to projects your might join in Peru, for example).

Having said that, there is plenty of art historical work to do in Northern
Ecuador and in the area where we work.  Plenty.  Like Amber said we've had
participants look at the colonial religious art in the area.  Lots to do in that
time period.

One pre-Columbian topic that desperately needs attention is this: it would be
interesting and helpful to have someone travel around to the nearby
local/regional musuems and start systematically studying (photographing,
measuring, recording, etc) key ceramic forms and styles.  Various people have
done this over time in bits and pieces (in English you should start by reading
Tamara Bray), but nothing has been done that knits everything together.  This
type of project would involve some day trips here and there, and maybe some time
in Quito, which is all very doable.

I hope this gives you something to think about.  Let me know if you have any
questions.

Cheers,
Chad

Hi Amber,

I'm glad to hear about your friend at UT (I'm actually
applying to their art history grad program in the
fall).

Sam mentioned that there are a lot of colonial
paintings in a nearby church that haven't really been
looked at much, is that what your friend worked on?

Could you tell me a bit more about the art at the
Hacienda? Is it art that is on display or in some

Hi, I'm a fourth-year at UCLA and will probably be applying for the
Travel Study program at Pambamarca within the next week and would like
to know if anyone has worked with Art History majors who have worked on
the project in the past.

Dr. Connell tells me that there indeed have been some majors in the
past but I haven't heard much about their work on the site.

My intended focus in Art History is Pre-Columbian art and have been
informed that I could do my research from an art historical
perspective. I'm just wondering if many people have done this in the
past.

Please let me know what's up, Thanks!

Hello Tanya,

Welcome to PAP (Proyecto Arqueológico Pambamarca)! It's Ana Kim here.
I will be back once again in Ecuador for my 3rd season and this time
as part of the project staff. I can't seem to get enough of the
gorgeis Ecuadorian Andes and the archaeology of the area. Looking
forward to go back. It is beautiful down there and I hope you enjoy it
as well.

Let me see...Eric just answered one of your questions so I am here to
fill in the remaining two.

1. Galápagos sounds amazing but I will be in Belize before the project
starts. One advice though would be to arrange trips for after the
project if you cannot find anybody to travel with before the project.
You'll get to meet other students and a good number book their flights
so that they can have extra days to travel around the area. In
addition, many of the returnees have traveled lots and they can give
you tips on places to go.

3. About the laundry:
At the communal house we hire local women to do our washing so we take
turns and once a week you place your dirty laundry in a bag which is
returned back to you after a few days. You have to keep in mind that
all the clothes are hand washed and then air dried so it takes more
than just a few hours. If you would like to handwash your clothes,
there is a clothesline set up in the bathroom and another one close to
the common area by the fireplace.

At the Hacienda Guachalá there are workers who can provide this
service and would also take a few days to return your bag of clean
clothes. All the women washing our clothes at the house and the
hacienda do a great job but of course if you have a really nice blouse
that needs extra care then i would recommend you to wash it.

Last note: The group where you posted your questions is used for data
sharing concerning technical issues of the project. Alternatively, you
may join these two other groups:
Facebook Group: Pambamarca Archaeological Project
<http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=7924281289>
Google Group: EcuadorProgram
<http://groups.google.com/group/EcuadorProgram>

Thanks for posting your questions! This info will also be helpful for
other students.

If you have any further concerns/comments post them on any of those
two groups and one of our staff will get back to you as soon as
possible. (You might want to post your Galapagos offer on these two
groups to spread the word)

See you in not too long!

take care,
Ana.

Greetings!

I have a few questions; a couple technical, one fun:

1. Are there any women students interested in traveling to the
Galapagos with me before the session?
2. (and perhaps this will be addressed specifically later...)Assuming I
am purchasing a plane ticket just to attend the session, what date
shall we arrive and what date shall we leave.  I know that someone will
be picking us up from the airport - so I presume a specific range is
desirable.
3. Is there a clothesline for drying handwashed clothes, or (perhaps a
long shot) are there laundry facilities at the hacienda?

Looking forward to our trip together!  And thanks in advance for your
response.

Warm regards,
tanya

Does anyone know where Shane is?  The addresses I have for him
(lutzsh@..., LUTZSH@...) do not work.  Thanks.

Greetings from NYC.

Thanks to Amber for posting about the SAA-- it inspired me to get
this information together.  It's going to be a great meeting.

Sam and I are organizing two Pambamarca gatherings at the SAAs and
there are five project-related papers to attend.  That we know
about.  Let us know if we missed something.

If you know of someone who should be on this email please forward or
let me know.

See you in Austin!

Chad and Sam

Here are the two informal project gatherings:

FRIDAY EVENING
Party in Chad's Hotel Room.  Details are still foggy.  Check your
email before you leave or ask other project members once in Austin.

SATURDAY MORNING
Pambamarca Working Breakfast.  Details to be shared at the party.
This will be entirely informal but also important.  We want to make
sure people are connecting on topics of mutual interest.

Here are the five papers that I know about:

THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 26
Symposium NEW HORIZONS IN INCA ARCHAEOLOGY
Organizers: D. Ogburn & E. Dean
** Hannah to write (Sam to supervise) first paper for session
organized

Ogburn.  ("The Organization of Inka Imperial Expansion:  Analysis of
the
Pambamarca Fortress at Quitoloma")

("The
Inkas at War in Northern Ecuador")

SATURDAY AFTERNOON, APRIL 28
General Session THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL STUDY OF ARCHITECTURE
** Amber Kling takes on the world.

Hey guys... I'm way too lazy to look through the entire SAA program
but I thought it would be a good idea to post the DAY, TIME and
SESSION of our SAA presentations so we can make sure to catch them
all.  Sorry to clog up the message board but I couldn't figure out a
way to get a file or link or something we could just enter it in
to....  See you guys at the SAA's!!!


Amber Kling

Presenting on Saturday April 28th @ 3:30 - General Session - The
Archaeological Study of Architecture

I'll share with you if you haven't found someone else!  I sent you an
email...

But, I'm staying Friday and Sat night as well, so would anyone be
willing to share a room with me for those two nights?  Lemme know if
you're interested and we can work it out.  Peace,
                      -Hannah

Hi everyone! Anyone interested in sharing a hotel with me on the Wed
and Thurs (April 25, 26) of the SAA meetings? I'm at the most
recently-added hotel from the SAA webpage. Lemme know!

Mary

Dear PAP scholars,

I have placed the 2005 Informe and all figures on line.  And I have
placed the papers of each field school student from 2006.  I have had
to reduce the figures to save space.  If you would like to borrow a
figure contact the author.

Sincerely,

Sam

To: connellsamuel@...
From: e-dyrdahl@...
Subject: My Senior Thesis


Sam-


This email is being written in response to the setup of the new data
clearinghouse group. Although
I have nothing final as of yet, I figured I should let you know what
exactly I have been and am
currently doing.


This week I will be beginning the analysis for my senior thesis.
Basically I am looking at the
landscape around the fortresses to hopefully say something meaningful
about the Inka and their
warfare/conquest strategies.


I am doing both site catchment and viewshed analysis for my project.
The site catchment is being
done using a 90-m resolution SRTM raster file with the elevations
reclassified to represent certain
bands using the information in Ana's paper as a guide. The viewshed
analysis is also being done
with this raster file as well as the photographs I took at the
different fortresses.


For right now, it appears that my most worthwhile route will be
comparing the site catchments of
the Inka forts with the two that appear to not be Inka (Pimgulmi and
Pukarito). I might also try to
compare the forts to other sites in the region.


All I have written to this point is basically the lit review and
methodology portions of my thesis,
which outlines the understanding of Inka warfare and how it has been
understudied by other
archaeologists. I also discuss the knowledge of Inka conquest tactics,
fortification practices, and
the Caranqui example in particular.


If you have any comments, idea, etc. on what I am doing, please let me
know! I can also send you
what I have written to this point and see what you think!


Best,
Eric

I cannot place his presentation on file b/c they only allow up to 5MB.
If you would like a copy of his presentation sent to you please send
