Venezuelan Historical Archaeology. Current Perspectives on Contact, Colonialism, and Independence

This groundbreaking volume, the first comprehensive study of Venezuelan historical archaeology available in both English and Spanish, sheds new light on the country's complex past from precolonial times to the republican period. It reveals how indigenous experiences during colonialism, missionization, and commodity production shaped landscapes and societies, with a focus on key case studies like Coro and other foundational cities. The research integrates recent fieldwork and unpublished data, employing a critical historical approach to analyze everyday life, consumerism, and social practices surrounding death. By bridging gaps in Latin American archaeology, this bilingual work offers transformative insights for scholars globally.
