At this seminar native and non-native scholars shared their experiences that will hopefully serve as a roadmap for future collaborative research.

This approach raises a number of theoretical and methodological issues that can be analytically grouped by reference to three general questions commonly addressed in the archaeological literature on war: (1) how was warfare practiced and understood in the past? (2) what were the causes and motivations for war? (3) what were the consequences of war? Contributions to this seminar addressed various topics on the basis of archaeological, historical, and ethnographic data from societies of different scales and time periods around the world. In addition to these case-centered discussions, participants exchanged points of view and experiences with regard to broad topics raised by the study of warfare as a practice, namely, its relationships with religion, power, space, and identity.

Laurie Webster, Tucson, Arizona Recent archaeological excavations in Zuni Pueblo have resulted in an unprecedented window into the processes of colonialism and culture change at Zuni over a 700 year period. These extensive excavations in the oldest part of the village, called the Middle Village, were conducted by the Pueblo of Zuni over the past several years. The recovered material provides an opportunity to evaluate when Zuni Pueblo was founded and to look at culture change over a long period of time that bridges the late prehistoric period, initial European contact, Spanish colonization, and the Mexican and American periods. Participants addressed several important questions including: When was Zuni Pueblo founded and what is the evidence for occupational continuity from the late prehistoric period to the present? What new technologies were adopted, when, and how does this adoption relate to current theories on colonialism, such as resistance and accommodation? What evidence is there for environmental change as a result of Zuni's entry into the colonial and post-colonial worlds? How and when did Zuni cuisine change with colonialism? What were the changes in domestic labor and household practice that accompanied the imposition of colonial institutions? How was Zuni identify reconfigured through periods of migration in the late prehistoric period, resistance during the Pueblo Revolt, and subsequent consolidation of all Zuni villages at Zuni Pueblo? How is this reconfiguration expressed in material culture? How was the process of colonialism different from or similar to other Pueblos in the Southwest?

Mechthild Rutsch, Direccion de Etnologia y Antropologia Social del Instituto Nacional de Antropologia e Historia, Mexico The goal of this seminar was to provide a general overview of the historical development of archaeology in the Americas and its links to the natural sciences and to the process of nation-building, particularly during the period from c. 1860 to 1920. A central concern was to show how indigenous peoples and their pasts, as reconstructed through archaeological remains, were typically incorporated into the national agendas of development states by becoming "naturalized" or by being treated as part of the natural landscapes within state borders. While the conference focus was principally historical, participants were also asked to consider how this process of incorporation has changed during the last century, or how different countries have modified or extended their self-defined identities and their consideration of indigenous peoples during the twentieth century and why they have done so. The seminar brought together ethnologists, archaeologists, and historians of science to compare and contrast these processes of incorporation and naturalization within different American states.

Participants based their understanding of the human uses of symmetry by first establishing what is known about symmetry recognition by the human perceptual system and the adaptive roles it may have played in the evolution of the several human sensory systems. The variety of cultural responses to symmetries in the natural world, as well as the ways human cultures use the concept of symmetry to structure their lives was then examined. Participants especially noted the means by which symmetry is fundamental to symbol making---the uniquely human communicative vehicle that visually, and incidentally beautifully, remarks on cultural order.

Richard Wilk, Indiana University The anthropological study of technology has deep roots in both archaeology and cultural anthropology, going back to the founding of the discipline. However, the theoretical study of technology was backgrounded to other topics during much of the 20th century. Fortunately, in the past decade or two, a limited number of scholars in both subdisciplines have led a sustained revival of theoretical and empirical research on technology, particularly on its cultural, social, and behavioral contexts. Regrettably, the diverse and creative anthropologists leading this revival have had no forum in which they could discuss emerging theories and methods and learn from each others insights and mistakes. What is more, these developments have suffered from decided insularity because there has been no self-conscious emergence of an anthropological community that studies technology. This conference remedied that situation by facilitating interaction across various theoretical and subdisciplinary cleavages. This conference served as a fillip to the explicit development of a distinctive anthropology of technology, made up of differing but potentially compatible perspectives that have been evolving during the past two decades. The participants chosen have helped to create the new perspectives, and so are well qualified to represent them in open and hard-hitting discussions. In addition to the revival of technology studies going on in anthropology, one can see across the academy and in sundry practical contexts burgeoning interest in the social, cultural, and behavioral contexts of technology. These studies, however, are oblivious to the progress made in anthropological research on technology. Thus, by bringing together in one volume diverse yet interrelated anthropological perspectives on technology, we can call attention to the unique contributions that anthropologists can make to issues being addressed now in countless disciplines, from folklore to engineering. The immediate goal of the conference, then, made explicit various theoretical perspectives on technology being built by archaeologists and cultural anthropologists, which were illustrated with case studies, that helped to coalesce an anthropology of technology. Published in one volume, the papers serve as an invaluable resource to students of anthropology, practicing anthropologists (regardless of subdiscipline), and others interested in the theoretical study of technology in context. Basic issues and topics discussed: (1) human agency in the evolution of technology; (2) how one might mesh behavioral (scientific) and postmodern perspectives; (3) the relationships between chaine-operatiore and behavioral-chain models; (4) the complementarity of prehistoric, historic, and modern cases of technological change; (5) the kinds of models/theories most appropriate for explaining invention, commercialization, and adoption of new technologies; (6) the role of materials characterization in technological studies; (7) the models/theories are most useful in applied contexts; (8) what applied anthropologists studying technological change and technology transfer can contribute to the development of anthropological theory.

Anne I. Woosley, The Amerind Foundation, Inc. The seminar focused on the prehistory and early history of one of the most poorly understood regions in western North America, the land between the Tucson Basin on the west, the Chihuahuan culture area in northern Mexico, the Mimbres area to the east, and the Phoenix Basin Hohokam and Mogollon Point-of-Pines areas to the north. It includes, at a minimum, the San Pedro, Aravaipa, Sulphur Springs, San Bernardino, San Simon, and Safford Valleys in southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico. Researchers could draw comparisons with areas outside these bounds, but their focus was kept within them. Seminar participants explored the cultural dynamics of the area, including such topics of interest as interaction, ideology, ethnic identity, social organization, population movement, aggregation, and warfare. Conference goals may be summarized as: (1) dissemination of important data sets obtained from the region in recent years; (2) generation of new perspectives and approaches to the archaeology of the region; (3) increasing awareness of southeastern Arizona prehistory; and (4) identification of important research topics for future work. The region in question is surrounded by traditionally defined major culture areas and subareas of the Southwest, that is, the Tucson Basin Hohokam, the Mogollon and Mimbres, as well as Casas Grandes. Though culture area labels have been applied to it or portions thereof, none have persistently adhered and there is a question regarding their utility. Traditional mindsets concerning cultural identity, mixing or blending of cultures, and interaction between regions, require reconsideration in light of the region as a whole and its relation to surrounding areas. Moreover, can traditional culture or culture-area definitions be of utility in the region? How does this land between influence our perceptions of the culture areas surrounding it? With these concerns and questions in mind, participants were asked to suspend the casual use of culture-area terms in favor of spatial referents unless the terms can be carefully defined and constrained to avoid the baggage they carry.

Norman Yoffee, University of Michigan This seminar was organized around the complex issues relating to prehistoric sociopolitical developments in the U. S. Southwest and Southeast. Participants, all active researchers, met to debate and examine systematically the evolution of sociopolitical organization in their respective regions, to address questions of comparability between each, and to draw general conclusions about similarities and differences between events and processes in the Southwest and Southeast. Questions of cultural evolution demand both the broad stroke approach as well as specificity. Often archaeologists are too insular in their attempts to interpret culture change, looking only to a particular river valley or the single large site. In contrast, here we convened scholars from two macro-regions for which the emergence of complex polities has been suggested after c. A.D. 900. The processes leading to such political development (if indeed they did occur) can only be investigated through the interaction of individuals who collectively have intimate knowledge of the Southwest and Southeast. External discussants, representing Mesoamerica and West Asia, where political complexity is unquestionably known to have evolved, provided critical commentary for broad themes under review including: (1) How great were southwestern and southeastern towns?; (2) How complex were their associated polities?; (3) How were the polities organized?; (4) What was the nature of linkages binding polities into macro-regional systems?; (5) What linkages did the macro-regions have with Mesoamerica?; (6) How well do current evolutionary models explain southwestern and southeastern sociopolitical developments?

Anne I. Woosley, The Amerind Foundation, Inc. Charles C. Di Peso, refusing to be limited by modern social or political boundaries, believed in the reality of Greater Southwestern prehistory. Ignoring traditional concepts of culture area that end the geographic distribution of prehistoric southwestern cultures abruptly at the international border, Di Peso viewed northern Mexico and the Southwest United States as one sphere of interaction strongly influenced by civilizations further south. The possible impact of Mesoamerican societies on the prehistoric cultures of the Southwest has long been debated. There is little question that contact between the two existed, and that to interpret Southwest prehistory we must better understand northern Mexico and the relationship between the two. Yet for all the literature theorizing about this possible connection and its economic, political, or even ideological consequences, relatively little field research has been conducted in northern Mexico. This conference brought together United States and Mexican scholars of diverse backgrounds but having similar interests, in part, shaped by Di Peso’s view of the Gran Chichimeca. It served as a bridge to greater cooperation between Mexican and United States archaeological communities to promote future work in a neglected region.
