Excavation of middens from two households in a peripheral parish of the colonial city of Riobamba, in the Audiencia of Quito (today Ecuador), has included analysis of faunal and botanical remains, in order to better understand the relationship between race, social class, and material culture in the 18th century Andean city. Although city officials of the 16th century attempted to maintain separate neighborhoods for indigenous people, by the 18th century such neighborhoods had become racially mixed. Despite the hybrid nature of the material remains in such households, poverty, status as artisans, and racial classification as indios were still significant factors in the lives of those who lived in the San Blas parish in the 18th century. Much historical archaeology focuses on the level of households as a scale of analysis, and yet for urban environments, it is important to also consider the parish, or neighborhood, as an important unit of analysis. |
