<p> The degree of accuracy in portrayals of Navajo culture at Salmon Ruins Heritage Park and Rock Art Ranch was assessed by comparing the Navajo structures assembled at each site to archaeological, ethnographic and historical data for traditional Navajo construction practices. Comparison and analysis revealed different degrees of accuracy in the portrayal of features with cultural and functional importance. Authentic practices were presented in a historical framework to permit the temporal characterization of each site. The aggregate of the temporal data from features at both sites was consistent with Navajo sites of the early twentieth century. The results of this study suggest a bias in contemporary portrayals of Navajo culture favoring the most extensively documented, and the more recent, aspects of Navajo culture.</p>

<p> The goal of this project is to develop a basic material characterization of the bricks excavated at the site of Sylvester Manor on Shelter Island, New York. In the early Manor period of 1650-1690, this early Northern provisioning plantation supplied Barbadian sugar operations and pursued mercantile interests independent of state control. Accounting for the range of production defects and material characteristics of the bricks suggests on-site or local manufacture as a regional ceramic industry developed. Qualitative visual analysis and petrographic thin-sections were used to characterize the internal composition, variation and production evidence in the bricks. Interpreting the results of this analysis offers alternatives to the assumptions about building materials on the site, using material properties to assess the role of building materials as the landscape changed.</p>

The study is clearly separated into two parts. On the first one, I deal with the historic formation of the baserri as an object of inquiry and in relation to the genesis of two systems of knowledge that produced, through a complex conceptual and theoretical machinery, its own defining outlines: the family-baserri and the architecture-baserri. On the second part, I try to analyze the particular assemblages which mediated, produced and/or built certain houses in the Valley of Araotz during the period of my fieldwork. This way, the aim consists on describing a particular oikogenesis without structuring it from the classifying outlines introduced by the disciplinary logical sets analyzed on the first part, and at the same time having the possibility to find these same classifiers at work and being able to deal with them as proper ethnographic data. Thus, I describe how the production of houses in Araotz is not limited to a definite series of categories anticipated by an efficient cause and that works as an analytical explanation; on the contrary, the singular acts that make baserri are interdependent and contemporary to the production of a diverse series of aspects, such as family, neighborhood, names, heritage, form and materiality of constructions, landscape and territory, animal husbandry, etc. In addition, it is necessary to state that the “pure” delimitation of these aspects is a mere abstraction and that in Araotz not a few times are these found intertwined to the architectural typologies, the anthropological family types, the valuation of material heritage or simply to the nation-state. In Araotz, not only the family is created through the construction of the house, but even the architecture and the anthropology of kinship are inferred and recreated while house and family are made. / Esta pesquisa tem por objeto a produção da casa do meio rural basco, o baserri, no âmbito do Vale de Araotz (Município de Oñati, Guipúscoa, País Basco). O estudo está claramente dividido em duas partes. Na primeira parte trato da formação histórica do baserri enquanto objeto de conhecimento e em relação à gênese de dois sistemas de saber que produziram, mediante uma complexa bricolagem conceitual e teórica, seus próprios recortes definitórios da suposta natureza do fenômeno: o baserri-família e o baserri-arquitetura. Na segunda parte procuro analisar os agenciamentos particulares que mediaram, produziram e construíram determinadas casas do Vale de Araotz no período do meu trabalho de campo. Assim, o objetivo consiste em descrever uma oicogênese particular sem estrutura-la desde os cortes classificatórios introduzidos pelos pacotes lógicos disciplinares analisados na primeira parte, e simultaneamente ter a possibilidade de encontrar esses mesmos classificadores em pleno exercício para poder tratá-los como dados propriamente etnográficos. Desse modo, descrevo como a produção das casas em Araotz não se limita a uma série definida de instâncias previstas por uma causa eficiente que faz as vezes de explicação analítica; ao contrário, os atos singulares que fazem baserri são interdependentes e contemporâneos à produção de um heterogeneidade de aspectos, como a família, a vizinhança, os nomes, a herança, a forma e materialidade das construções, a paisagem e o território, a cria de animais, etc. Cabe dizer que a delimitação “pura” desses aspectos é uma mera abstração, e que em Araotz não são poucas às vezes que eles se encontram emaranhados às tipologias arquitetônicas, aos modelos antropológicos de família, às valorizações do patrimônio cultural ou, simplesmente, ao Estado-nação. Em Araotz, não se trata unicamente de que a família se faz com a construção da casa, mas de que a própria antropologia do parentesco e a arquitetura inferem e se refazem enquanto se faz casa e família. / FAPESP: 2014/19818-6
