Neighborhoods, spatially proximal areas in towns and cities, often comprise multiple diasporic communities in close contact. Ethnic and racial lines are not necessarily neatly maintained, challenging fixity or fluidity binaries when approaching diasporic communities. Thinking of the neighborhood as interpretive model in itself challenges us to think past siloed communities and look to the distinct ways in which social identities and networks are dynamically shaped by living space in urban contexts. Utilizing material from Santa Barbara’s Nihonmachi, we attempt to think through material culture through the lens of the neighborhood, appreciating the blurred lines across the multiple communities living on the block.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Archaeology","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 101662"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143377984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Comparative analysis reveals heavy investment in camelids, with deer serving as a secondary meat. Small mammals, fish, and birds are virtually absent from the assemblages. We further observe increasing emphasis on camelids relative to deer over time, suggesting a shift from hunting to management during the period of investigation. We fail to find evidence of diet breadth expansion, risk averse foraging, or climate-induced subsistence changes. The observations align with previous studies that document a transition from camelid hunting to herding in other regions of the high Andes.

By employing social network analysis and statistical tests, two main groups of rock art locations that differ in geographic position, plus the richness and abundance of motifs, were detected. Furthermore, geographical distance was observed to have played a key role in determining the spatial structuring of motif class distribution at the regional level, with significant similarities existing between nearby locations (ca. 20 km) and important differences between more distant ones (ca. 60 km). Thus, rock art paintings as cultural features related to an ancient flow of information and human mobility patterns at a large spatial scale, follow the spatial trend described by other lines of archaeological evidence, which indicates different forms of human land use and occupational intensity between sectors of the PAVF, particularly between the Gallegos (northern sector) and Chico (southern sector) Rivers.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Archaeology","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 101660"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicate that during most of the occupations, foragers at Hora 1 employed hunting strategies focused on a diverse array of small taxa, mostly procured close to the site, which would have been most efficiently done with the aid of traps and nets. Exploitation of relatively complete carcasses was intense and targeted within-bone nutrients more than meat, reflecting an energy-limited landscape during dry season occupations. Overall, the evidence suggests that foragers at Hora 1 adopted a home range system with limited mobility and were not strongly territorial.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47957,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Anthropological Archaeology","volume":"77 ","pages":"Article 101656"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142975243","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of these assemblages is centered on whether faunal characteristics can be used to: 1) distinguish assemblages produced by neighboring forager and food producer populations; 2) identify interaction between these populations and; 3) reflect information about the nature of these interactions. In this sample, measures of bone abundances, taxonomic richness and the presence of rare species can distinguish food producer from forager-created assemblages. High levels of compositional similarity and exploitation intensity associated with forager and farmer assemblages indicate consistent economic activity focused on dominant marketable animals. Differences in richness, bone abundances and, especially, skeletal part representation of common marketable prey reflect economic interactions marked by socioeconomic disparities.
