Abstract

ABSTRACT Jeffrey Parsons was a pioneer who expanded the scope of settlement pattern analysis in archaeology. He conducted extensive surveys in Mexico, Peru, and Argentina. Here I discuss Parsons' contributions to ethnographic research with archaeological goals (ethnoarchaeology). His major contributions to the field dealt with Mesoamerican subsistence activities in three broad areas: maguey (Agave sp.) cultivation in the Mexican Highlands; salt-making in aquatic environments (primarily the Basin of Mexico), and the aquatic lifeway (fishing, hunting, gathering, and manufacture). Parsons will be remembered as a scholar who pushed the boundaries of archaeological research, and in so doing greatly expanded our knowledge of Mesoamerican foodways, technology, and cultural adaptations to the environment.

杰弗里·r·帕森斯和中美洲民族考古学
杰弗里·帕森斯是考古学中扩展聚落模式分析范围的先驱。他在墨西哥、秘鲁和阿根廷进行了广泛的调查。在这里,我讨论帕森斯对以考古为目标的民族志研究(民族考古学)的贡献。他对该领域的主要贡献涉及三个广泛领域的中美洲生存活动:墨西哥高地的maguey(龙舌兰)种植;水生环境中的制盐(主要是墨西哥盆地)和水生生活方式(捕鱼、狩猎、采集和制造)。帕森斯将被人们记住,因为他突破了考古研究的界限,从而极大地扩展了我们对中美洲食物方式、技术和文化适应环境的认识。

期刊介绍: Ethnoarchaeology, a cross-cultural peer-reviewed journal, focuses on the present position, impact of, and future prospects of ethnoarchaeological and experimental studies approaches to anthropological research. The primary goal of this journal is to provide practitioners with an intellectual platform to showcase and appraise current research and theoretical and methodological directions for the 21st century. Although there has been an exponential increase in ethnoarchaeological and experimental research in the past thirty years, there is little that unifies or defines our subdiscipline. Ethnoarchaeology addresses this need, exploring what distinguishes ethnoarchaeological and experimental approaches, what methods connect practitioners, and what unique suite of research attributes we contribute to the better understanding of the human condition. In addition to research articles, the journal publishes book and other media reviews, periodic theme issues, and position statements by noted scholars.
