Abstract

Giovanna Vitelli (this volume) offers interesting perspectives on the archaeological study of Indigenous people in colonial contexts. She does so through a commentary on my recently published (Silliman 2009) article in which I outlined a perspective on practice and memory that has helped me interpret the ways that Indigenous communities can persist between the dichotomies of change and continuity. I offer here some clarifications and engagements with her comments.

Resumen

Resumen

Giovanna Vitelli (en este volumen) ofrece una interesante perspectiva sobre el estudio arqueológico de pueblos indígenas en el contexto colonial. Lo hace mediante un comentario sobre mi redente artículo publicado (Silliman 2009) el cual esboza una perspectiva sobre practica y memoria que me ha ayudado a interpretar las maneras en que las comunidades indígenas pueden persistir entre dicotomias de cambio y continuidad. Ofrezco aquí algunas aclaraciones y discuto algunos de sus comentarios.
