In this milestone work, William Fowler uses archaeology, history, and social theory to show that the establishment of cities was essential to Spanish colonialism. Fowler draws upon decades of archaeological research on the landscape, built environment, and architecture of Ciudad Vieja, a sixteenth-century site located in present-day El Salvador and the best-preserved Spanish colonial city in Latin America. Fowler compares Ciudad Vieja to other urban sites in the region and to the tradition of urbanism in early modern Spain to determine how the Spanish grid-plan layout was modified and implemented in the Americas. Using extensive archival material, Fowler describes how this layout reflected and perpetuated power structures that benefited the Spanish although the city’s Indigenous population was greater in number. Fowler analyzes recorded interactions between colonists, Indigenous peoples, and enslaved Africans to demonstrate the ways the cityscape affected the relationships among individuals and cultural groups. Offering an unparalleled view into a critical moment in Latin American history, this book offers new ways of looking at urbanism and colonialism as intertwined forces in the emergence of the early modern world.

It is the first collection to present case studies that show how both commonplace and capital-intensive technologies were intertwined with indigenous knowledge systems to reshape local, regional, and transoceanic ecologies, commodity chains, and political, social, and religious institutions across Mexico and Central America.

In studying the past, archaeologists have focused on the material remains of our ancestors. Prehistorians generally have only artifacts to study and rely on the diverse material record for their understanding of past societies and their behavior. Those involved in studying historically documented cultures not only have extensive material remains but also contemporary texts, images, and a range of investigative technologies to enable them to build a broader and more reflexive picture of how past societies, communities, and individuals operated and behaved. Increasingly, historical archaeology refers not to a particular period, place, or a method, but rather an approach that interrogates the tensions between artifacts and texts irrespective of context. In short, historical archaeology provides direct evidence for how humans have shaped the world we live in today. Historical archaeology is a branch of global archaeology that has grown in the last 40 years from its North American base into an increasingly global community of archaeologists each studying their area of the world in a historical context. Where historical archaeology started as part of the study of the post-Columbian societies of the United States and Canada, it has now expanded to interface with the post-medieval archaeologies of Europe and the diverse post-imperial experiences of Africa, Latin America, and Australasia. The 36 essays in the International Handbook of Historical Archaeology have been specially commissioned from the leading researchers in their fields, creating a wide-ranging digest of the increasingly global field of historical archaeology. The volume is divided into two sections, the first reviewing the key themes, issues, and approaches of historical archaeology today, and the second containing a series of case studies charting the development and current state of historical archaeological practice around the world. This key reference work captures the energy and diversity of this global discipline today.

Volume I is a compendium of data from the former Reino de Guatemala prior to independence from Spain. Documentation from archives in Seville, Madrid & Central America. Markman provides a derrotero, a navigational chart, with "sailing instructions" to the scholar searching for elusive information. Text includes data difficult to access. Observance of "America 500." Bibliography & index. In English & Spanish. "This is without a doubt a true work of art. It is crafted to perfection, almost as precisely as if executed with the same rule & compass as were used to draw the plans of the Spanish towns. The information encourages Central American research." - Francisco de Solano, Centro de Estudios Historicos, Madrid. "I consider Professor Markman's new work of the utmost importance for all the scholars of the history of art in Latin America...This work will join those of Hanke, Whitaker, & Bolton." - Jose Antonio Calderon Quijano, Escuela de Estudios Hispano- Americanos, Sevilla. "This is a very important research work...one of the more valuable...contributions to the Quincentenial." - Antonio Bonet Correa, Ciudad Universitaria, Madrid. The second of a two-volume work on the topic provides a helpful index to the scholar searching for elusive information on architecture & urbanization of colonial Central America. In many instances, Markman's illustrations provide the only visual evidence extant of colonial buildings & townscapes in Reino de Guatemala. ISBN 0- 87918-080-3.
