Abstract

In organizing a plenary session to mark the Quincentennial at the 1992 Annual Meeting of the Society for American Archaeology, our aim was not to provide a summary or review of archaeological research bearing on our understanding of "Columbian consequences." Rather, we sought speakers who could raise forward-looking questions about the sociopolitical entanglements and consequences of archaeology considered as, itself, part of the legacy of contact. The papers that follow, by Vine Deloria, Jalil Sued-Badillo, and Brackette F. Williams, all take up these issues and draw out implications for future practice; this introduction provides something of a rationale for the session that brought these authors together.

Resumen

Resumen

Cuando organizamos una sesión plenaria para conmemorar el Quincentenario en la conferencia de la Society for American Archaeology en 1992, nuestra meta nofue la de proveer un sumario o revisión de la investigación arqueológica pertinente para nuestra comprensión de las consequencias del descubrimiento. Más bien, nosotros buscamos oradores que dieran un paso adelante al examinar preguntas acerca de la problemática sociopolítica y las consequencias de la investigación arqueológica considerada como parte de la herencia del contacto. Todos los artículas siguientes, por Vine Deloria, Jalil Sued-Badillo, y Brackette F. Williams, tocan estos temas y avanzan implicaciones para la investigación futura; esta introductión explica las razones por las que se organizó esta sesión, la cual incluyó a estos autores.
