El arte rupestre ha tendido a estudiarse de manera descriptiva, esencialmente detallando sus características formales. El lector percibirá este afán descriptivo en bastantes capítulos, lo que está reflejando, más que un interés personal de los autores, una realidad historiográfica.

Archaeologies of Early Modern Spanish Colonialism

Beginning with the better known Americas, it follows with Africa and the Pacific in a wish to explore Spanish colonialism beyond the parameters of existing research. There is a preference for peripheral cases, many of them not yet well known and not yet present in the mainstream scholarly discourse. Ultimately, we have aimed at striking a balance between theoretical, methodological and empirical issues; at critically examining the construction of categories and discourses of colonialism, furthering issues raised by post-colonial and Latin American de-colonial theories; and at questioning the ideological underpinnings behind the source material required to address our topic.

Continuity and European disruption in the Heping Island archaeological record : excavation of test pits T2P8 and T3P1
Historiographical absences and archaeological consequences : the early modern European journeys in the Pacific

By emphasizing only the eighteenth century as the time of the first relevant European presence in the Pacific, traditional historiography ignores the potential consequences of earlier encounters on local peoples. This historiographical absence is the result of several factors, and it has serious implications for the anthropological, archaeological, and historical understanding of the Pacific.

Despite its potential role in subsequent global developments, this historical episode has been downplayed in mainstream literature on early modern colonialism. My emphasis is not so much on building a thorough presentation of the archaeological findings obtained (in progress), but on summarizing the main results while creating a narrative about the possibilities and constraints of archaeological research on colonialism in the Asia–Pacific region.

The contributions to this book were, however, also intended as displays of a way of making and understanding archaeology within a profoundly historical tradition such as the Spanish. This chapter attempts to frame this one characteristic of this book-that is, being about an archaeology rooted in history. Thus, it deals with the fundamental historicity of Spanish archaeology, its context and further development ( historicity being the quality of being historical, without any theoretical implication; historicism , on the other hand, is usually equated with culture-history, a particular theoretical framework).

Aspectos como la manera de representar, la perspectiva, los motivos, las superposiciones, la localización geográfica… se reflejan de manera complementaria en las distintas tradiciones en unos casos, y de manera opuesta en
otros. Teniendo en cuenta el solapamiento cronológico de algunas de las representaciones y estilos, analizaremos lasmanifestaciones rupestres como estrategias culturales particulares, incompatibles con una visión uniformitaria del “arte rupestre”. Las contraposiciones y convergencias de las distintas tradiciones se
discuten en cuanto elementos de prácticas sociales determinadas por los modos de producción, relaciones sociales y trayectorias históricas concretas de sus correspondientes formaciones sociales.
