Abstract

ABSTRACT In collaboration with Comcaac (Seris) Indigenous community members from the Sonoran coast of Mexico, this study integrates ethnographic, archaeological, documentary, and oral historical data to better understand the Comcaac past relevant to the present. This is the first publication of Comcaac historical accounts about the Cazoopin, or colonial Spaniards, extending back to AD 1750 and earlier. We document Comcaac people’s first encounters with Spanish sailing ships and their opportunistic adoption of Spanish material culture. Oral accounts are combined with evidence from archaeological survey of named places and archival documents, particularly Pimentel’s Diary of Governor Ortiz Parrilla’s 1750 expedition to Tahejcö (Tiburón Island). For the Sonoran colonial period, previous reconstructions have been based on archaeological evidence and archival documents written by Spanish Empire representatives; here, we encourage the incorporation of Indigenous voices to understand economic, social, political, and ecological dimensions of the past that condition the creation of different historical narratives.

血与珍珠:墨西哥Comcaac地区的Cazoopin(殖民西班牙人)

本研究与来自墨西哥索诺兰海岸的Comcaac (Seris)土著社区成员合作，整合了民族志、考古、文献和口述历史数据，以更好地了解Comcaac的过去与现在的关系。这是中国商飞首次出版的关于西班牙殖民者的历史记录，可以追溯到公元1750年或更早。我们记录了中国商飞人员与西班牙帆船的第一次接触，以及他们对西班牙物质文化的机会主义接受。口头叙述结合了对指定地点的考古调查和档案文件的证据，特别是皮门特尔1750年总督奥尔蒂斯·帕里拉(Ortiz Parrilla)远征Tahejcö (Tiburón岛)的日记。在索诺兰殖民时期，以前的重建是基于考古证据和西班牙帝国代表写的档案文件;在这里，我们鼓励结合原住民的声音来理解过去的经济、社会、政治和生态层面，这些层面制约了不同历史叙事的创造。

期刊介绍： Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
