Their constant and varied practices to undermine and disregard the authority of the State and the functionaries of the "Compañía Explotadora de Isla de Pascua" (CEDIP) became significant obstacles for colonial powers, as well as marking the beginnings of the struggles for Rapanui civil rights in the 1960s.

Teniendo por base la revisión de documentos provenientes del Archivo del Ministerio de Marina y del Archivo de la Intendencia de Valparaíso, llevaremos a cabo una reflexión en torno a la acción del Estado chileno y la "Compañía Explotadora de Isla de Pascua" durante estos años.

Technology: Ideology, Economics and Power in the Andes
UCL Institute of Archaeology | 16-18 June 2015
Organisers: Bill Sillar, Viviana Siveroni and Miguel Fuentes
Sponsors: UCL Institute of Archaeology, the Institute of Latin American Studies, University of London
Conference Theme
Economic and ideological concerns both influenced the development and deployment of Ancient technologies, and researchers working in the Andes have been at the forefront of archaeological studies of these issues. Heather Lechtman’s proposal of ‘technological style’ included an assertion that cosmology and cultural values influenced metal working techniques, and similar concerns are seen in Izumi Shimada’s analysis of cross-craft technologies. Cathy Costin and Dean Arnold’s analysis have also helped to show how social, economic and environmental influences affected the scale and organisation of craft production. A pertinent question for these studies is the degree to which the Andean region is merely an exemplar of global trends and the degree to which it presents unique situations (e.g. due to the development of complex societies without a significant market economy).
In this conference consideration will be given to how ideology and symbolism as well as economic systems and political control helped to shape technological change, in order to discuss how these perspectives can be combined within our analytical methods and interpretations. Papers are invited that draw upon recent fieldwork and material analysis to debate what influenced the choice of techniques and the scale of production within Andean crafts, construction and agricultural technologies. While the conference will focus primarily on pre-Columbian examples, the organisers are conscious of issues such as the economic, environmental and social impact of current mining practice and encourage participants to reflect on the relevance of their research for the region today.
