Persistência, Práticas, Memórias, Povos indígenasResumo
O estudo arqueológico de povos nativos americanos durante os períodos coloniais na América do Norte tem se concentrado amplamente em avaliar a natureza da mudança e da continuidade cultural por meio da cultura material. Embora seja uma abordagem valiosa, ela tem suas limitações por se concentrar demais nas dicotomias de mudança e continuidade, em vez de em sua inter-relação, apoiando-se em categorias culturais acríticas de artefatos, e por não reconhecer o papel da prática e da memória na identidade e na persistência cultural. Pesquisa arqueológica em andamento sobre a reserva Eastern Pequot em Connecticut, que foi criada em 1683 e tem sido habitada continuamente desde então por membros da comunidade Eastern Pequot, permite uma visão diferente da natureza da mudança e da continuidade. Três sítios da reserva que abrangem o período entre cerca de 1740 e 1840 destacam a escala e a temporalidade da memória social e as relações entre prática e materialidade. Embora os sítios da reserva mostrem mudanças quando comparados ao “parâmetro pré-contato”, eles apresentam uma continuidade notável durante o período da reserva. A interpretação resultante fornece não apenas representações mais fundamentadas e adequadamente dimensionadas das práticas culturais passadas, mas também engajamentos críticos com categorias analíticas que carregam peso político significativo bem além dos círculos arqueológicos.
